A BISHOP Auckland family is appealing for help to find their missing pet, a tiny Yorkshire terrier-cross.

The bitch, called Skunk, who is only a few inches tall, disappeared from the Green Lane area on Friday, March 8.

Her owner, who has asked not to be named, thinks she may have followed walkers on a nearby path and hopes someone has taken her into their home.

Anyone who can help is asked to telephone (01388) 450527.
