A masked man dressed all in black snatched a pug from a pensioner in broad daylight during a planned dog theft.
Ann Cowlard, 72, was walking her group of dogs around Lydd on Wednesday morning when she came across a stranger in an alleyway.
An appeal has been launched to find Mrs Cowlard s stolen pug
The man bent down to greet one of her cream-coloured pugs, loosened her collar, and then ran off.
The 11-year-old dog, who is hard of hearing and lost half her teeth, has not been seen since despite the best efforts of the police and the Lydd community.
