A WOMAN is searching for her missing dog that disappeared earlier this month.

Megan, a retriever, disappeared from the garden after being allowed out on the evening of Monday, February 9, said owner Alison Blackburn.

She and husband Michael have been unable to find any trace of Megan, who needs anti-inflammatory medication for a hip problem.

Mrs Blackburn, of Harecroft, Denholme, said the dog had a value of about £700. She has now started a Facebook group, #FindMegan, to try to help trace her.
