Dog set to star in RTE series has vanished

A dog due to soon feature in an upcoming RTE series has disappeared from his home.

His heartbroken owners are appealing for information on their young golden retriever who vanished from their back garden.

The retriever has lived with Kathryn Cuddy and Cathal Ó Sé,  who are both vets, at their home in Midleton, Cork, since she was a small pup.

The 18-month-old "family member" is set to appear in the first episode of Pet Surgeons  with Kathryn, which will be aired on RTE next month.

The brand new series filmed vets at Gilabbey Veterinary Hospital in Togher, Cork , and tells the stories of worried pet owners and sick animals.
