The elderly owner of a 7-year-old black poodle named Rags is fraught with worry after her beloved dog went missing on Saturday afternoon.
The dog first went astray around the Stobswell area of Dundee at around 3pm. Drivers in McGill Street taxi rank near the local Co-op last saw her running towards Kemback Street.
The dainty dog can fit in a handbag and may be mistaken for a puppy at first glance.
“She is so very precious to my mum and our family,” said daughter Irene Stewart. “My mum is still getting over chemo so this happening with her little one has taken the wind right out her sails.”
“Rags may be hiding in a garden shed, bin recess or huddled in a corner as she is so tiny can get into the smallest of gaps.”
“If she hasn’t already been picked up we are sure she will still be in the Albert Street area. Please, please keep sharing and looking for her.”
Mrs Stewart continued: “Lots of us have been out searching for her but no joy. It’s so cold out and we’re worried sick. Please help get her home.”
