An adored school therapy dog has been found nearly 30 miles away from home.

Emma Butler, assistant head teacher at Teynham CofE Primary, near Sittingbourne, had told KentOnline of her heartbreak after four-year-old Mabel went missing three days ago.

The 48-year-old immediately burst into tears with the relief of hearing that her pup was safe.

“I just kept saying ‘they found her, they found her,” she said.
