ED. Ruby, a Spaniel that went missing, was found in February last year by police after several weeks, and returned to her rightful owners. See LINK Also, there were unconfirmed reports a few months ago, that in the Long Crendon, Oakley and Worminghall area, males were approaching people when they were out walking their dogs and trying to steal them. It was also alleged (according to http://www.dogwatchalert.com/ )  that this has happened in Wallingford and Aston Rowant.
