Owners of 'Mr Fox' - the male crossbreed who had been nicknamed 'Zorro' by the staff at Hunters Bar Veterinary Clinic before he was found - picked up their beloved dog at around 1.30pm today.

A woman and her two children picked up their much-loved pet after seeing a Facebook post calling for the owner to come forward which had been shared almost 1,400 times.
