Beloved Wigan puppy snatched from the back of a car
George, a four-month-old Springer Spaniel, was snatched from the back of a vehicle in Warrington Road, Abram, on Sunday morning, close to the former Dover Lock pub.
It was around 11.20am when owner Jake, and his brother, was walking George along with their other dogs in a field. Following the walk, they loaded George into the back of a Ford Ranger before heading back into the nearby field to round up the other pets.

Jake’s partner Elise Havey said her two-year-old daughter had been left devastated after finding out her puppy had been taken.
She pleaded with whoever took George to give him back, saying: “There is a very upset little girl who is longing for her puppy back. Please just take him to a safe place so that he can be found and returned home where he belongs.”
George was wearing a black harness when he went missing, and is micro chipped. If found, he must be reported to the council’s dog warden, as required by law. Anyone with information on George should call police or contact Dogs Lost on 0844 800 3220.
