FOUR years after their pet pooch went missing Craig Sutton and his family had given up all hope of ever seeing Tilly the Yorkshire terrier again.
Craig and his partner Caroline had searched the streets, trawled through social media sites and contacted every lost and found agency they could after Tilly disappeared from their home in Bartholomew Street, Wombwell, March 2012.
The family received a shock phone call last week telling them Tilly, who is now eight, was alive and well by a vet who had scanned her microchip.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
