A MISSING dog that disappeared almost two months ago has been found safe and well.
Roly the Springer Spaniel was stolen out of his owner’s van when left in a Sainsbury’s car park in Worcestershire.
The car of the individual believed to have stolen the dog was later spotted that day in the ‘Oxford area’.

Now, 76 days after going missing, Roly has been reunited with his worried owners, Peter and Stephanie Wolfe.
Mrs Wolfe said: “He was found by a member of the public, who had seen Roly’s Facebook page and poster.
“He was convinced it was Roly.”
The dog then had his microchip checked by a vet, who confirmed it was in fact Roly.
She added: “It is absolutely amazing.
“All these people looking out for him has certainly paid off and the fact the man had already been looking for Roly, it was fantastic.
“We could not quite believe it.

“When he saw us, his whole body was wagging his tail and rolled over for his tummy to be tickled; he was so pleased to us.”
The owners said Roly seemed well-fed, did not appear to be anxious, and it did not seem as though he had been mistreated.
