Search dog who went missing before Christmas is found safe and well

A search and rescue dog, who went missing on a Norfolk Lowland training exercise days before Christmas, has been found safe and well.

Juno, a female German shorthaired Pointer, vanished during a regular training exercise in Fritton Woods on December 21.

The group said they were devastated by her loss and feared they'd lost her for good.

In a post on Facebook, the Norfolk Lowland Rescue Team said: 'We are please to announce that she is in great spirits and been checked over. Her paws are slightly sore but she is now on her way back home.

'We would like to thank all those who shared the post, over 7,500 shares and reached over 500,000 people'.
