The Workington owner of a stolen Spaniel is appealing for its return because it needs specialist medical treatment.

The black and white six-year-old male, named Roy, was one of two dogs taken from a secure paddock at allotments in Northside Road on Saturday, August 9.

The dog is diabetic, suffers from fits and requires regular medication and care.

The second dog taken was a four-year-old female rough coated black Terrier. Police are appealing for information on 101.
