A Scots woman is desperate to be reunited with her beloved dog for Christmas after the pooch went missing earlier this year.
Amy Hamilton, 28, from East Lothian, says Benji went missing when her mum took the dog out for a walk in June. The family have tried almost everything to find the jack russell terrier cross but have had no luck yet despite using drones and cameras.
Having initially thought he may have disappeared down a rabbit hole, Amy now fears someone may have taken the tiny dog, reports Edinburgh Live.
She has since put out a new social media appeal in the hope she will be able to spend Christmas with the beloved pooch in her first home.
Amy wrote : "Someone must know something.
"I think Benji's been picked up and taken. If I had found a body in the water or if I had found him stuck down the hole and he had passed away, at least I could grieve and move on.
"I think the past six months have just got harder. I thought maybe they would get easier, but they've actually gotten harder because I've not had any closure, I've not been able to accept what's happened, or grieve, or understand why or how someone could have taken him and how he is."
Amy is self-employed and runs her own dog-walking business in the local area.
She added: "I've been self employed now for eight years. I have this huge responsibility to look after these people's animals. I'm not glad it was my dog, but at the same time I am because this feeling I've had for these six months... I wouldn't wish that on a client, I wouldn't wish it on my enemies, to be honest.
"It's been an extremely hard time. And when people ask me how I am, I go, 'Yeah, I'm fine.' And then I think, no, I'm not, you know, I'm really struggling. I don't know how to answer somebody
