Urgent, please, please help if you can. Yesterday evening, returning home from the Championship Show at the NEC, Ross Green stopped at a service station, just off the M1 at J13. Whist paying, he saw a white youth jump into his car, a DARK BLUE VAUXHALL VECTRA ESTATE, Reg. No. KJ55 XFZ. Ross ran out, tried to smash driver window and then managed to open rear passenger door but as he did so the youth started the car and sped away towards the M1. In the back of the car was his and Judith Gregory's Black & White Border Collie, Tyson, (ShCh Tonkory Guinness)

Police are searching but the service station was just a mile from the M1 and the driver could have gone in either direction. There was approx 150 miles worth of fuel in car. Please keep an eye out incase you see either the car or Tyson. If so, please contact Ross Green, tel no: 07703 503242 and/or the police. And pray for Tyson's safe return. This is a tragedy for both Ross and Judith.
