Dorset charity worker reunites dog with owner after theft
An eagle-eyed volunteer at a Dorset charity reunited a puppy with its owner after the dog was grabbed by thieves.
Tony Roberts from Bournemouth was devastated when his car was broken into at Meyrick Park earlier this month. Thieves took Buster, a Shih-Tzu puppy from his vehicle.

"We designed a poster and asked people to share it. We weren't sure if it would help but we had to try."
A poster of Buster was circulated through Facebook, and the puppy was recognised by Glynis Bartlett at the charity's Lincoln Farm site.
"I was looking on Facebook one evening and saw a little dog on a poster that had just been brought in as a stray. I immediately let staff know, who contacted the Council" explained Ms Bartlett.
"Staff called the number listed on the poster and Mr Roberts answered. He came to Lincoln Farm straight away and it was clear from Buster's reaction that they had found each other."
