A major search to find a “timid” rescue dog missing in the north-east has seen hundreds pledge their support and drones take to the sky in an effort to help.
Bess, a 10-year-old collie, was last seen during a walk on August 22.
She has since been spotted in Aberdeenshire but is fearful of strangers.
Bess was adopted from the Scottish SPCA by Amy Downs, of the Hazelhead area of Aberdeen, and despite the grandmother now being 75, she has been out searching every day for her missing pet.
Mrs Downs’ son Andy, who is leading the search, told the BBC: “I cannot believe how much community support the search has attracted.
“Drones have been up, and we’ve had donations of wildlife cameras. It’s been superb, totally unexpected.”
He explained: “It would take a lot of patience and kindness to attract her.
“She’s a recent rescue dog and very timid. She’s very fast.
“My mum is 75 but she is out every day searching.”
The Help Find Bess Facebook page has now attracted more than 400 members as the search continues to grow.
