WORRIED owners are searching for a missing racing dog after he ran away near Calne last week.

The black greyhound, Cill Dubh Cuala, was transported from Ireland before an upcoming race at Swindon Stadium, last week to Hilmarton racing kennels on October 17 before he got spooked, slipped his collar and ran away towards Spirthill.

The last sighting of Cuala was Sunday afternoon moving in fields near Spirthill next to the Foxham Road.

He is 3-years-old and is microchipped. The kennels have urged people to not attempt to chase Cuala as he is a nervous dog.

They have also asked the public to report any sightings, with the direction of movement, to 07970090521 or 07939504535.
