A STRAY dog which has been roaming a racecourse for the past month has not been seen for a week.
Staff at Sedgefield Racecourse have taken the black and white collie to their hearts and are becoming increasingly concerned for its welfare.
The dog has been affectionately named Dwain by racecourse staff after British sprint star Dwain Chambers.
The animal is lame and is believed to have been sleeping rough on the course. He has become something of a local celebrity and has been seen in the village on numerous occasions.
Staff have found a home for the dog, but it has so far evaded all attempts at capture. They fear something might have happened to their reluctant mascot and have appealed for information.
Anyone who has seen the dog is asked to contact Jim Allen, Kathryn Daines or Amy Starkey, at the racecourse on (01740) 621925.
