Missing from Moor Park Bispham on Sunday 12th December 04

Alec was on his usual daily walk and lagging behind his owner a little when he just disappeared.
It is believed that something may have frightened him and caused him to run in the wrong direction. If it had been back towards Bispham Village, it is certain that Alec would have found his way home, a route he had covered countless times before.
Alec is 15 years old and in this cold spell needs finding quickly - he is rather timid and is easily frightened.
He has a lump on the knee of his hind leg and also is undergoing medical treatment for prostrate trouble.
His owners would appreciate any contact at any time of day or night regarding possible sightings.
