Mr Driver said went his wife went outside to bring the dogs in and found both were missing.

He said Milly was found nearby and "looked liked she had been kicked" but Purdy was nowhere to be found.

He said: "They're loyal dogs and they don't just run off. My wife said it all happened in the blink of an eye.

"We now believe Purdy has been taken in by somebody or stolen. Me, my wife and three young children are totally devastated."

Earlier this year there were fears that a dog snatcher was targeting pet owners when three dogs went missing on walks.
