Blind and deaf dog's owner search

Ed was found wandering a field over a week agoA farmer's wife is appealing for help to find the owners of an old, blind and deaf sheepdog found in a field near Borth in Ceredigion.
Rhian Williams-Watkin believes the dog, whom she has called Ed, may have been set loose or simply wandered off and was unable to find his way home.
She said Ed was malnourished and infested with fleas and worms when he was found just over a week ago.
Ed "seems to have been loved because he enjoys cuddles," she added.
It is thought he has been missing for weeks and has probably survived by eating grass and slugs.
Mrs Williams-Watkin has made inquiries with farmers nearby and the local veterinary surgery, but the trail has gone cold.
Wandered off
She is now considering putting up signs in the area in a last ditch attempt to find Ed's owners.
Mrs Williams-Watkin, from Dolybont, about six miles north of Aberystwyth, said: "Ed can stay here, but it would be great to find his owners especially if they're missing him and don't know where he is.
"I named him Ed and he's blind and very hard of hearing.
"When we found him he had fleas and worms and was malnourished, but he's received treatment and is now starting to put on weight.
"It's possible he may have wandered off and has been unable to find his way home or he may have been unable to work because of his blindness and has been set loose." BBC News

Dog sat with Owner after He was Murdered

Motorists quizzed in murder probe

Chico is thought to have sat next to Mr Devine for two or three daysPolice investigating the murder of a man in a Glasgow park have questioned dozens of local people in a bid to identify his killer.
John Devine's body was found in bushes in Glasgow's Cowlairs Park on 16 July.
His dog Chico is believed to have sat next to his lifeless body for two or three days before returning home and being taken in by a neighbour.
Detectives stopped and quizzed motorists and pedestrians in the Saracen area of the city on Tuesday.
The interviews in Saracen Street, Keppochhill Road and Cowlairs Park took place exactly four weeks after 45-year-old Mr Devine, who was known as Jake, was seen for the last time walking into the park.
His body was only found after a member of the public noticed that Chico, a Staffordshire bull terrier cross, was no longer in the park and went to see what had been attracting the dog's attention.
Dog walkers
Strathclyde Police said Mr Devine was seen in Parkhead Forge in Glasgow at about 1430 BST on Tuesday 10 July. He was later seen entering Cowlairs Park at about 2030 BST on the same day.
It is not known whether he was killed that night or after returning at a later date.
Det Ch Insp Ricky Mason, who is leading the investigation, said he hoped that speaking to pedestrians and motorists who travel the same route every night might jog their memories.
He added: "They may, unwittingly, have seen something that could prove vital to this investigation.
"A mobile police office will be sited at the entrance to the park and I would encourage members of the public to go in and speak to the officers.
"I would appeal to anyone who may have seen Mr Devine in the Saracen or Royston areas or has any information regarding his movements since the afternoon of Tuesday 10 July to come forward."
Det Ch Insp Mason also appealed for dog walkers who use the park or may have seen Mr Devine or Chico in the days leading up to the discovery of the body to contact the police.
