A widower whose dog ran away after his wife died has had a joyful reunion with his pet - after she mysteriously turned up in Essex.
Maggie, a 10-year-old border terrier, was handed into Colchester police station by a member of the public after being spotted wandering around the countryside.Officers were able to trace her back to her owner in Norwich, Norman Sheppard, through the registration number tattooed in her ear, which is registered with the National Dog Register.
He is delighted to have been reunited with his dog, but is at a loss to explain how she could have travelled from their home off Ipswich Road to a town nearly 60 miles away. It is a journey that would take an hour and a half by car.
