I thought some of the comments on her fb post said she was found deceased?

Is anyone still looking for MILLY? She would have 'celebrated' her 5th #UNhappyAnniversary earlier this month 😟

APPEAL: Police appeal to find owner of suspected stolen dog

Police are appealing for help in tracing the owner of a suspected stolen dog.

The female Cocker Spaniel, believed to be around five years old, was found during a recent police search at a farm near East Bridgford.

Nottinghamshire Police executed a warrant at the site on 15 April as part of an investigation into stolen vehicles and found the canine living in an abandoned vehicle.

Officers are now seeking to trace the owner of the dog, who has a distinctive tuft of fur on top of her head.

In the meantime she is being cared for at a local kennels and is in good health.

Police are not trying to rehome the dog and urged people to only call if they have information that could help trace the rightful owner.

Chief Inspector Amy Styles-Jones, dog theft lead for Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This dog has been in our care for several weeks now and we have every reason to believe that she is either missing or stolen.

“We are determined to return her to her true home and would like to speak to anyone who may recognise her, acknowledging that she may not be originally from Nottinghamshire.

"Whilst we appreciate support from well-wishers I would urge people not to call the police with offers to rehome the dog as this could tie up our control room resources and we are not looking to rehome her - we simply want to find the rightful owner. So I would ask that people only call us if they have information about who owns the dog.

"Please share this story far and wide across your social media networks and help us to find her rightful owner. Claimants will be asked to provide proof of ownership.”

Anyone with information about this dog is asked to call 101 quoting incident 529 of 6 May.

Article in Stratford Herald x
http://www.stratford-herald.com/68456-police-linking-two-dog-thefts.html
POLICE are linking the thefts of two female Cocker Spaniels who were stolen from their owner’s gardens within a matter of days of each other.

A black, female Cocker Spaniel, named Milly, was taken from a rear garden on Church Road, in Snitterfield, between 1.30pm and 2.30pm on Wednesday 8th March. Milly has short, trimmed hair and an Aztec-style dog collar with her name tag on.

Police have also confirmed this week they have received a report of a recently-trimmed long-haired blue roan, female Cocker Spaniel, named Lily, taken from her front garden in Bishopton Lane, Stratford-upon-Avon, at around 5.45pm, on Saturday 25th March.

A Warwickshire Police spokesman said: “Police are remaining open-minded into possible links between the two incidents and urge anyone who may have witnessed suspicious behaviour in either area on the times and dates stated to call police on 101.”

Lily’s owner Isobel Hall told the Midweek Herald that Lily had been outside for only ten minutes, when her husband realised she wasn’t there and started looking for her.

She said: “My husband, James, and children were at home and Lily was in the garden. We thought she was lost rather than stolen, until this weekend, when the police said they were linking the two incidents. There hasn’t been any sightings of her.”

Isobel thanked friends, neighbours and farmers for their support in checking nearby fields and the canal, plus handing out posters.

She added: “It’s sad enough for us, but I have four daughters, aged between 17 and ten, as well as a 21-year-old son, in Scotland, who has been looking on dog’s sites to try and help.”

Milly’s owner Iain Wardman said he was keeping everything crossed that one day she will come home.

Speaking about the police linking the two thefts, he said: “It just seemed a little strange, they are exactly the same breed and they are both female.”

On the day Milly went missing, Iain was at work and his wife Kathryn was at home, when she let the family’s two dogs into the garden. When she called the dogs back into the house, only one returned.

Iain said: “There were some people walking up the lane, who have given their statement to the police. The witnesses saw two very overly-friendly gentleman walking along the public footpath, wearing sunglasses.”

That evening, Iain said he looked all over the fields in the area, as far as Norton Lindsey, and made flyers that were handed out in the surrounding villages.

He continued: “I have to say the one thing I have noticed is that all the local community have been very supportive – unfortunately I can’t thank them all individually, but they have been fantastic.

“The hardest part is the children. I have a 14-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. It’s so difficult trying to explain to my son about why Milly isn’t here.”

Staying positive, Iain added: “We have a third child due in four weeks and we have every confidence that Milly will come back.”

Both Milly and Lily are listed on national website, DogLost. Jayne Hayes, the website’s founder, told the Midweek Herald: “I set up the website to reunite missing pets with their owners, 15 years ago, after my dog was stolen.

“Through members of the public my dog was

Milly vanished from her garden, it isn't established if she escaped or was taken, however there have been no sightings of her reported. Milly's family have contacted local vets, kennels, dog wardens in local area & also have postered extensively. They are organising a search party for Monday & more details will follow on this. Have advised to ensure microchip record is flagged & report disappearance to Police as well as to contact wardens, kennels, vets etc further afield and have given contact details for k9tracker.co.uk x
