Three million join campaign to find two stolen dogs

A pet owner has been reunited with her stolen dogs after more than three million people joined a campaign to find them.

Tina Drayson captured two men on CCTV around the time her dogs disappeared in Cranleigh in Surrey.

After sharing the footage on her social media page almost 3.5 million people clicked on the video in a matter of hours.

Her dogs Nelson and Brock were found less than four hours later by midnight on Friday near Guildford.

Two 16-year-old boys were coming home from a party just four hours after the video was first put online when they noticed two dogs following them.

Jamal Betts and Matt Kipping were walking home about ten miles away from the site of the dognapping, when they realised the black and brown pups following them were the ones from the video.

Jamal quickly contacted the RSPCA and his mum, and waited with the dogs until the police arrived.

The family have had four dogs stolen from the farm in the last seven years and Simon Drayson installed the CCTV after his last dog was taken.

Simon said that the highly-skilled, working gun dogs could fetch a "few thousand pounds" on the black market.

Police are still trying to track down the two men seen in the CCTV footage.

I am very glad that the dogs were found so quickly - well done to Jamal and Matt.

I hope that the thieves are found and duly dealt with.
