I understand you don’t normally do this but my Mums little black and white Shih tzu went missing today outside the Spar Shop in Ardleigh, Mullingar, Co Westmeath (a lot scragglier than the pic as she needs a clip). She was wearing a red lead. She’s a lovely little friendly dog called Muffin. She has only one eye due to being attacked last year by a stray dog. She brings great joy to my sick mother who is very distressed.
If anyone has any information please leave details. Even if you haven’t seen her please share this post with your family and friends. Someone must have seen her. Thanks for your help.
