A ROSS-ON-WYE mother has thanked the Hereford Times and its readers for bringing the case of her son’s missing pet dog to a close.

Charlotte Bailey and her seven-year-old son, Isaac, were left wondering what had happened to their chihuahua Boysie until members of the public spotted her appeal and phoned to say he had been seen in Blaisdon, near Ross.

Sadly, Boysie was run over and his body was recovered at Huntley.

But Charlotte said she may not have found him at all had it not been for the kindness of strangers.

“I am really grateful to everybody out there who has been so kind,” she said.
