A FAMILY is devastated after their second dog within two years went missing.

Owner Billie Andrews believes Ned, an English Pointer who disappeared on Saturday, and Jack Russell terrier Gosh, who vanished two years ago, may have been stolen from the family farm at Roscoe Lowe Brow, Anderton.

Ms Andrews spent several hours searching for Ned, who is orange and white, without success. The family have another English Pointer, Sol, who is pining for the return of her mate. Anyone with any information, or who may have seen Ned, is asked to call 01257 483660.
