“If you are the offender and you are reading this, do the right thing and give Flynn back,” said Northamptonshire Police.

“Dogs are not 'property' to their owners, they are family members, and you have caused enormous distress to Flynn's family who don't know where he is or if he is okay.”

The incident happened between 11pm on Monday, November 16, and 6am on Tuesday, November 17, when the raiders forced their way into a barn.

They plundered a load of tools along with much-loved Flynn.

Any eye-witnesses or anyone who has any information about the crime should call Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting Incident Number 20000607712.
