A FRANTIC owner is trying to recapture her dog after it escaped while out for a walk to travel miles across Colchester.

Noodle, three, went missing from Severalls Industrial Estate at 7pm on Monday after it was chased by another pooch.

He has been seen as far away as the Hythe and Eastgates. But so far no one has been able to catch him.

Owner Georgina Charlesworth, of De Grey Road, said: “He is a very nervous dog so if you see him please try and lure him with affection and food rather than try to catch him.”

He is described as a black, small whippet.

Anyone who finds Noodle should call the dog warden on 01206 282581.
