A beloved therapy puppy has died after hundreds of people tried to find her after she was "spooked".
Kerry Harding bought her Cockapoo, Heidi, as a therapy dog to help her son Dylan, 18, who has cancer. On Sunday, December 4, while being looked after by a family friend Heidi became "spooked" at Eccleston Park golf park.
Heidi was spotted along the railway tracks between Huyton, Rainhill, and Whiston on Sunday evening and trains were slowed down for an hour in an effort to locate her. Hundreds of people also came out in an attempt to find the dog.
