She was sleeping in her kennel in the back
An appeal has been launched after a pet dog was stolen from the back garden of a Desborough home.
Ruby, a three-and half-year-old Cocker Spaniel, was stolen after the thief or thieves cut through a padlock on the gate of a run where her kennel was kept.
The incident took place sometime between 11pm on Saturday, January 16 and 8am on Sunday, January 17.
Ruby's owner said: "It's horrible - I'm devastated. I've been everywhere to look for her. The kids next door who play with her all the time love her too.She's a member of the family."
Taken from the property in Stoke Road, Ruby has lived with her owner since she was four-months-old.
Ruby, who is spayed and microchipped, is mostly white with black ears and distinctive grey spots on her head and muzzle.
