THE mother of an eight-year-old boy who was diagnosed with a brain tumour four years ago is appealing for the safe return of her son's lost rabbit.

Tracy Cook, of Bushley Close, returned home on Monday morning to find her son Shaun's white rabbit, named Buster, was missing from the garden.

Shaun, who is now in remission, has had the rabbit for about five years and the family has recently moved to Woodrow from Quibury Close, Winyates.

Mrs Cook said: "I am hoping someone will find the rabbit because it has kept Shaun going through his illness. He loves animals."

Anyone with any information can call Tracy Cook on 510833.
