A dog that went missing after running away from its lead has been found thanks to drone footage.

Buddy, who lives with his owner, Mark Kerridge, ran away from Jeffery Avenue in Walsoken yesterday morning (Sunday July 25).

Mark, who is currently on holiday, put a plea out on social media, asking everyone to look out for Buddy.

Luckily, people responded and Mark found someone who was willing to help by flying a drone around in hopes of finding his dog.
