A petrified pooch, which vanished after a firework was lobbed at her owner, has been found over a month later.
Greg Connolly was out walking his two dogs Millie and Zac when the rocket was hurled at him.

As she bolted, Greg suffered foot and hip injuries as he tripped trying to stop her.
The 66-year-old put out an appeal after she went missing on October 28.
He thought he would never see her again.
And to his surprise, Millie was found last Friday (Nov 29), four and a half weeks later.
She was spotted with a person on a bus near his home in Renfrew, near Glasgow, Scotland.

He spoke to the witness which led him to an address five miles away.
Greg told What’s The Jam: “A lady who had him on a lead was reluctant to give her back saying she was hers.
“But I knew it was Millie and just grabbed her.”

“She seemed a bit traumatised, but I took her to see Zac straight away and she perked up.
“I’m just so pleased to have her back home and I’d like to thank all the people who helped search for her and put up hundreds of posters.
“I went out day and night for five weeks, and thousands of people from all across the UK helped by sharing the posts on Facebook.
“I am truly humbled by the way they have rallied around to help and support me.
“This has restored my faith in human beings.”
It is not known how Millie ended up with the woman and if she just found her and took her in.
Greg urged all pet owners to microchip their animals and to keep details updated.
“Also, if you see a dog or cat you think might be stolen or missing, please take a photo and give it to the owner or the people running the appeal,” he added.
