A BLIND elderly dog found stray in Northumberland has sparked an appeal to find his owner.

The dog was picked up in the Bedlington area yesterday (November 11) and is now in the care of Northumberland County Council's animal welfare team.

However, the council has been unable to identify his owner as he is not microchipped.

His exact age is also unknown, although the authority described him as an "older chap".

The council is now appealing for anyone who recognises the dog or has information about his owner to get in touch.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Northumberland County Council's animal welfare team at animalwelfare@northumberland.gov.uk.
