A family has been reunited with their dog after she was found 90 miles away from their home.
Farmers, Sonja and Perin Dineley, and their 12-year-old daughter, Dorothy, were left distraught when Iris vanished.
They thought they’d never see the Tri-Colour Fox Terrier again.

She went missing on 26 August last year from their home, in Salisbury, Wilts.
But amazingly, Iris was found wandering around a park in Guildford, Surrey, on Monday (28 Jan).
The person who found her took her to a vet to get checked over.
Her microchip was scanned and the Dineleys were called out of the blue.
Sonja, 50, said: ”We didn’t expect to get that call to tell us she’d be found.

“But we did and that seems like a miracle.
“It was all down to a lovely person doing the right thing by finding Iris and then taking her to a vet.
“And, of course, having her correct chip details so that we could be traced.”

The couple feared Iris had been stolen.
Her tail had been docked when she was found, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Dorothy had an emotional reunion with Iris at their home on Tuesday (29 Jan).
She was found thanks to a social media campaign by Muddy Paws Crime.
