A desperate pet owner in Staffordshire has appealed for help in tracing her two missing dogs.

The two dogs, Brandy and Nancy, have now been missing for a week after vanishing from their home.

Owner and vet Jackie Tollerfield, who rescued the two dogs, said she was hopeful someone would recognise them.

The pair vanished from their home at Dimble Cottage, Uttoxeter Road, Blithbury, near Rugeley, on Thursday last week.

Mrs Tollerfield said the dogs never strayed far and usually came home.

Brandy is a tan and white 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier, while Nancy is a one-year-old Patterdale bitch. When Nancy was rescued by Mrs Tollerfield she had a badly fractured pelvis and leg. She was brought into the surgery where Mrs Tollerfield works in August.

Both dogs wear collars and tags, and have been microchipped.

Mrs Tollerfield said: “I have had Brandy for nine years and he goes everywhere with me. He has never been far from my side since I first rescued him. He loves chasing rabbits, but always comes home.

“Nancy has never strayed far from my sight since she recovered, and both of them are very friendly and much loved.”
