Button is a black Patterdale terrier and she is owned by retired window cleaner Bryon Moreton and his wife Yvonne.

Two weeks ago, just after feeding Button her breakfast, Yvonne noticed the front door of their house on Hall Park Avenue was open and the tiny pup was missing.

Since then there has been no reported sightings, despite a poster and social media campaign spearheaded by charities Murphy's Army and Homebound Animal Response Team (Hart-Sar) who have even utilsed drones to try and locate Button.

Mrs Moreton added: "We waited six years to get a dog until we both retired. We heard that a girl in the village had some Patterdale pups needing good homes.

"It was our dream come true.

"She was our baby, she had settled into our home so nicely."

Button is black with a white blaze on her chest. She is microchipped but not yet vaccinated as she was too young when she went missing.
