RESIDENTS in a North-East town are becoming increasingly worried about a stray greyhound that is too quick to catch.
People in the Elm Tree area of Stockton have seen the thin-looking dog roaming around since before Christmas.
So far, it has proved too elusive for animal welfare officers, despite a range of methods designed to tempt and trap the dog.
Councillor Suzanne Fletcher wants anyone with information about the dog's movements to call Stockton Borough Council so they can feed it and take it to a vet.
She said: "It is just running wild and feeds all over the place, but we do not know where.
"It is not a nuisance, but people are concerned about it because there is no one to look after it."
Anyone who sees the dog is asked to call (01642) 393939.
