Ruby, a five year old brown spaniel bitch and Max, an 18-month-old black spaniel dog, were lost after they ran off at Sculthorpe airbase on Tuesday, February 9.

Owners Emma and Tim Matkin and their friends have walked nearby fields and searched for the duo.

They have also called in a wolf dog tracker, which searches for stray and lost animals.

It found their trail but lost it after a mile on a road between Syderstone and North Creake.

Ruby and Max's owners believe that means someone has picked them up. Both were wearing collars and both have been micro-chipped.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Matkins on 07766 141224.
