I AM writing on behalf of my family and myself to thank the many people in Redditch who helped in the safe return of Sally, our beagle, who went missing last week.

The response to our advert was very helpful and in all cases accurate.

We cannot thank you all enough, especially the lady in Lakeside who was instrumental in us finally catching up with Sally on Friday morning.

We were all so relieved to have her back home and she is being thoroughly spoilt.
