Dogsey

A runaway dog has been found after a two-month adventure covering up to three counties.

Frankie slipped his lead in Stanford in the Vale, Oxfordshire, in June.

His owner, James Brooks, posted pictures of his German shepherd-Labrador cross on the website, DogLost.

In July, he was seen going through a skip in Lambourn, Berkshire. A month later he was found with a fox bite in a farm-shed at Sherborne, Dorset, when he was taken to a vet by the farmer.

Vet Gemma Loader said when Frankie was brought in, he could not even lift his head.

She said: "From the day that he came in, where he couldn't stand and was very malnourished and septicaemic, to the day he went home, he was a completely different dog.

Ms Loader said Frankie's owner was eventually located through the website.
