A family are appealing for help in finding their missing pet dog from Plaistow.

Six-year-old Poochy was last seen at her home in First Avenue on Thursday.

It is believed she escaped while the family were out for the evening.

Owner, Ashley Scott-Fisher, said: “We think she escaped after chewing a hole through the gate. We found her on the street six years ago and took her in.

“She is a very friendly dog and we just want her home safe.”
