A DOG that had been missing since 3pm on Saturday is tonight back with his owners.

Charlie, a two-year-old Jack Russell, ran off at the Old Winton Road end of Ladies Walk.

The owners took to social media and a huge campaign was launched to track the family pet down with several sightings over the following days he remained.

Owner Michelle Matt thanked everyone who helped her family find their dog.

"I don't think we could have done it without all the help and support we have been given," she said.

"Charlie is now tucked up under his favourite blanket fast asleep.

"I don't think he will want a walk for a while!"
