“Bailey” is a 12 week old puppy, and went missing at 8:30am on Friday morning whilst walking by the golf course at East Surrey Hospital.
Bailey was scared by another bigger dog, resulting in him slipping his collar and running off. Owner Wendy Lacey, along with friends, had been looking for him since and as part of the search arranged to talk with presenter Neil Munday live on air.
During the telephone conversation, the interview was interrupted with the return of missing Bailey after about 30 hours!!
Hear Wendy’s chat with Neil.
We are pleased to report that after a visit to the vet, Bailey has been given a full bill of health.
