A CCTV image has been released by officers investigating the theft of a much-loved rescue dog.
Daisy, a white and tan cocker spaniel, was last seen near her home in Hollingbourne near Maidstone on Monday, January 18 at around 8.50am.
It is alleged a man in a white flatbed truck stopped his vehicle and stole the dog, which was sitting outside a house.
The truck then drove off up Hollingbourne Hill towards Bredgar and Sittingbourne.
Retired lecturer Pam Nash, who took in the rescue dog with husband William last year, says Daisy "has been our joy during lockdown" and she is desperate for her safe return.
Sgt Craig Chalmers-Stevens said: "Our investigators have been pursuing a number of lines of enquiry and are now able to issue a CCTV image that shows a side view of a white truck we would like to trace.
"It has been a week since Daisy was taken and we are urging anybody with information that may help us find her to call our appeal line.
'We would also like to hear from anyone, who has not yet spoken to the police, with CCTV or dashcam footage that shows the truck travelling between Hollingbourne, Bredgar and the Sittingbourne area between 8.30am and 9am on 18 January."
Last week, police released a dash cam image of a truck which is reported to have stopped for a man to pick up the pooch.
