Grandparents endured the “worst week of their lives” when their beloved dog, Fred, went missing from his groomers.
Joan and John Rankin, of Haresfinch in St Helens, were overwhelmed by the support they received from the community to help find Fred, a six-year-old Shih Tzu. Their granddaughter, Antonià Kelly, said everyone was incredibly relieved when Fred was finally found on Wednesday, June 15 – eight days after he had originally gone missing.
Fred ran away from his groomers to Blackbrook rugby field on the morning of June 7. Despite multiple sightings, the family were starting to lose hope that they’d ever see him again.
