A two-year old Miniature Dachshund is back with her teen owner after going missing for nine days.
A missing dog as tall as a cereal box and as long as a computer keyboard has been returned to her teenage owner thanks to the help of a farmer and a drone pilot.
Two-year-old Mila, a Miniature Dachshund, spent nine days on the run before she was finally seen wandering in a wheat field near her home in Swavesey, Cambridgeshire. Owner Alannah Kerr-Higgins, 15, called Mila's name and waited while thermal image pictures tracked the dog's progress through the thigh-high wheat.
More than four hours after first being spotted, the tiny pooch found her way back into Alannah's arms - with a tin of food waiting.Drone operator Phil James and Alannah relax after Mila's returnShe said Mila measured 40cm from "nose to bum" and 28cm from her paws to the top of her head.She was eventually found on 5 June in a field behind the house where she had been staying after Ms Higgins asked residents and drone operators for help on social media.
Charity founder Phil James recalled how Mila found her way into overjoyed Alannah's arms after about four-and-a-half hours.Alannah's mother Karen Higgins said people had been 'quite simply amazing'"People have been quite simply amazing. My faith in humanity is, I don't know, a million per cent."Follow Cambridgeshire news on
