A YOUNG dog is in need of some puppy love after its owners became too busy to look after him.

Midge - pictured making friends with from left, Bronwyn and Margaret Suddes and Sam Hall - is a one-year-old whippet cross, described by staff at the National Animal Sanctuary Support League as "a lovely dog".

Pauline Wilson, of the league, said: "The people started working longer hours and he was in the house for long periods at a time."

Anybody who can give Midge a home and some tender, loving care, should contact the league, on (01325) 321855
