She was holidaying with husband, Keith, 55, in Tenerife when their daughter, Megan, informed them their 22-month-old dog was missing.

Frankie was staying at Megan’s home in Hyde when during a walk over the playing fields the Cavapoo bolted at the sudden bang of a nearby firework.

Ms Littler said: “Frankie would’ve already been nervous staying in a new environment, over ten miles away from home - and the firework must have triggered her to flight.”

You can tell that she babied that dog by the fact that she said it was “22 months” old. Terrible circumstances.
