A mother says her family’s lives have been “turned upside down” after her beloved dogs went missing.
‘Rina’ - not her real name – gave her bulldog Gypsy and two dachshunds to a relative’s ex-partner in Wisbech to care for temporarily.
“Peaches is a bit smaller and her hair is a little finer on her head and chest,” Rina said.
“Paris has a white marking on her chest, which is very visible.
“They are sisters and have never been separated since birth.”
On August 13, Rina found out that the dogs had disappeared, including her 18-month-old dachshunds Peaches and Paris.
Rina got Gypsy back, but the others remain missing.
