A Northumberland family has issued a plea for the safe return of their son's deaf therapy dog after it went missing along the River Tyne.
Cockapoo Bob went missing on the south side of the river at Corbridge on the morning of Thursday June 15 and has not been spotted since. Though the Voysey family of Riding Mill are desperate for his safe return, Bob has a particular bond with 15-year-old Oliver, with the pair have being inseparable since Bob's adoption almost a year ago.
Oliver, who suffered a brain injury at birth, is in a wheelchair and Chronicle readers may remember that he raised £178,000 for the Lake District Calvert Trust during the Coronavirus pandemic, helping the charity to survive. In a video on Facebook, the 15-year-old and his mum Sarah have issued a plea to get the beloved family pet home.
