A HAMPSHIRE dog owner is appealing to anyone who may have seen her missing pet chihuahua, Shane.

Carol Dixon lost the nine-year-old dog while out on a walk in Bartley, near Cadnam in the New Forest.

Since Shane, pictured, who is black and tan coloured, was lost in January Carol has tried in vain to find him. She is offering a reward of £500 for Shane’s safe return.

Anyone with information should call Carol on 023 8086 7579.
