A chihuahua called Timmy who sparked a three-day search after going missing has been found alive, stuck in a neighbour's hot tub. The eight-year old animal is the emotional support dog of PTSD sufferer Michelle Sloots, from Swansea, who broke down in tears on camera after finally being reunited with her pet.
The wandering pup, who disappeared through a side gate at the family's home in Penydre Road, Clydach, on Easter Sunday afternoon, was discovered late on Tuesday by someone living nearby. The neighbour was said to have been 'putting the bins out' at the time and heard a 'splashing noise' coming from his back garden.
Upon further investigation he discovered Timmy, who was unable to get out, standing in an inch or so of rain water which had collected during the recent storms. "I just don't know how he could have got in there, it's so bizarre," said mum-of-four Michelle.
