A DOG owner is offering a £1,000 reward for her missing pet after a psychic told her she was in the Tiverton area.

Lauren Hatton, a riding instructor from Cornwall, said psychic Maureen Rolls told her Pebbles the dog was stolen from her home on March 28.

She said: “Nothing had come out of our search and in desperation, because we thought someone had run her over, we rang Maureen. She's found lost animals before. She can communicate with animals.

“She's come back with really amazing results. She got the character of our Labrador who was with Pebbles absolutely correct. She's spoken to both of the dogs and they've both come up with exactly the same description of the man who took Pebbles.

“The Labrador was totally traumatised and all the weight has dropped off her and she's gone grey.

“About two or three weeks after she had gone missing we had a phone call from an Irish man who said he believed he had been sold our dog.

“Then on the Gum Tree website recently, there was a border terrier for sale with six puppies. When the charity Dogs Lost contacted the seller on our behalf they said the man had an Irish accent.

“Maureen also said Pebbles has had six puppies.”

Pebbles is a five-year-old female border terrier with light brown hair.
