The strangers searching for a dog they've never met

A group of nine people have spent much of their spare time over the last year searching for a dog they've never met.

Max, a nine-year-old English springer spaniel, went missing from a house near Much Cowarne, in Herefordshire on Christmas Day last year.

A Facebook group was set up by the group dedicated to trying to find him and now has than 10,000 members.

Dawn Smith said: "Some people probably think I'm mad but there was just something that touched us about Max."
