A large search was organised and took place on Sunday, at 2.30pm from Christ Church School but April is still missing.

Harriet Pollard, who is the daughter of the pet's owner Racheal Chester, continues to share the missing poster for April on Facebook and said on July 2: "Please keep sharing guys we need our baby girl home."

Mark Wright, who is engaged to Harriet, has also shared the poster on social media.

On June 26, he said: "With the recent weather she's very likely seeking shade throughout the day so we ask if possible, can you please check your gardens, under your cars, garden benches, anywhere she fits she will sit.

"You've probably seen us walking around all hours of the day, having drones out, creeping by in the cars staring into your front gardens but obviously and respectfully we can't go invading everyone's garden to check, which is where she very likely is hiding out from the sun.

"Has your neighbour randomly acquired a bark throughout the week out of the blue?

"We will treat any information with confidentiality.

"Any help at all means the world to us and we thank you for all the help so far.

"It's approaching a week now she's been missing."
