Swinton Cemetery last Tuesday evening (December 8). Her owner Elaine Hardy only let her outside for around 10 minutes before noticing she had escaped through the back garden.Despite an extensive search, there has not been one sighting of Rosie – leading her owners to believe she may have been stolen.

Elaine, 50, said: “Rosie is a massive part of our family and we are absolutely devastated that she is still missing. “We’ve had Rosie since she was born and her absence has left an enormous hole in all our lives.

She is a very friendly dog and would have walked up to the first person she saw. “The house is so quiet – normally she’s nicking socks out of the wash basket or climbing onto my knee when she knows she shouldn’t.“My Christmas lights.
