The home owners claimed the dog was not theirs, and its microchip has details of a previous owner.

A police spokesperson said: ‘Benji appears to be well trained and well looked after, so we’d like to reunite him with his family.

‘The dog is being kept in kennels until December 25, when he will be rehomed if his owners are not found.’

If you have any information call 101 and quote PC Ben White as a reference.
