A PET owner has issued a renewed plea to the public for help in tracing her missing dog.

Staffordshire bull terrier cross Gizmo has been missing since June 17 after the three-year-old male pooch and his owner Natalie Crawford, from Paisley, climbed Beinn Ime in Arrochar.

Natalie previously told the Advertiser that she had been five minutes from the summit of the mountain when thick cloud covered her path, and within seconds Gizmo had disappeared.

Members of the Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team have been offering their assistance along with other search parties in recent weeks, and Natalie said there have been possible sightings of Gizmo in Fort William and in the Stirling area but "nothing concrete yet".

She said: "I'm still continuing to search every day with a great team who have been helping me out.

"I just need his story out there as it's been 25 days now and I need to keep him in people's minds in case he's been stolen."

Anyone with any information is asked to call 07776024930 or contact the Advertiser and we'll pass on details.
