Mother and puppies reunited in Telford
Wednesday 27th July 2011, 4:13PM BST.
Seven puppies have been reunited with their mother after she went missing in Shropshire for five days.
Jack Russell cross Peggy went missing from her home in Redhill, Telford, on July 17 but returned home on Friday to be greeted by seven wagging tails.
Owners Drew Corbett and Verity LeGrove said they were shocked to see her simply walking up their road after vanishing.
Eighteen-month-old Peggy gave birth to the puppies at the end of June and Miss LeGrove, 28, has been having to feed them powdered milk through a syringe.
Miss LeGrove, a teacher, said: “I was getting home from work and I found her trotting up towards the house.
“She has lost a bit of weight but when she saw us she was running around for about half-an-hour really excited. She was really pleased.
“We have been giving her sausages and all sorts of things since she came home.
“When she got to the house she went straight to the puppies and they were all really pleased to see her, they were very excited.
“I’m going to take her to the vet just to make sure she is okay before she starts to feed the puppies.”
