A Carlisle couple have spoken of their joy after the happiest of reunions with the puppy they thought may have been gone for good.

And it’s all thanks to the News & Star that loveable husky pup Logan is finally back where he belongs after nine days of worry for owners Claire and Stewart Norman.

After reading the News & Star article on Saturday, a woman from the Scotby area – who had taken Logan in after finding him on the streets – contacted Claire and Stewart to reunite him with them.

Claire, of Bedford Road, Denton Holme, said: “It was just amazing.

“After it appeared in the paper we were contacted by a woman who had had him for eight days – she said she found him wandering in Scotby but I don’t think he could’ve got there on his own.

“But she took beautiful care of him and it was absolute heaven to see him again.

“The response we had from that article was overwhelming, 100 people must have phoned us. If that article hadn’t gone in I don’t know when we would’ve got him back.”

The couple, who also have another husky pup, Kiefa, were reunited with the 13 month-old just before they were due to board a train to Blackpool for the weekend – and it was the perfect start to their weekend away.

“We felt so bad because my brother-in-law was looking after the puppies for the weekend,” said Claire.

“But we met the woman at the train station and my husband ran round the corner with Kiefa – when she saw Logan they just went mad, it was so nice to see. My husband had been so upset as he felt responsible because he was walking them both when Logan went missing. But it was such a lovely moment being reunited.”

Logan went missing when Stewart was walking him along the River Eden, near Waverley Bridge, and the couple feared he had been stolen to order outside of the county.

“But now he’s back at home Claire, who’s five months pregnant, said it’s like he’s never been away. He has slotted straight back into life with the Normans,” she said.

“We’re so happy he is back where he is supposed to be, this is home.”
