Woman's heartbreak as terrified dog runs away after getting spooked by fireworks

A dog owner is worried sick after her beloved pet ran away from home after getting spooked by fireworks at the weekend. Sabina Langridge is 'beside herself' after her 10-month-old Maltipoodle Koko fled their home in Immingham, outside Grimsby, on Saturday night (November 4).

Sabina and husband Peter have been desperately trawling the streets and parks near their home searching for Koko, who ran out of the house and is thought to have escaped through a gap in a nearby gate after hearing a loud bang on Bonfire Night. The couple were at home with Koko at around 7.30pm that night when a huge bang prompted the little dog to shoot out of the room.

Peter asked Sabina if Koko had ran to her, but he hadn't - so they ended up looking for the dog outside, thinking he must have squeezed through a gap in the gate, Grimsby Live reports. The pair have not given up hope that Koko will be found and have been searching everywhere for their beloved pet.
