Dog reunited with relieved owners after going missing and spending night on Conic Hill
Caramel, the six-year-old Cocker Spaniel, was reunited with his relieved owners after he vanished near the summit of Conic Hill and spent a night on the hillside. An adventurous pet dog has been reunited with his owners after going missing and spending the night on a Scots hillside. Caramel, the six-year-old Cocker Spaniel, went missing near the summit of Conic Hill, near Loch Lomond, on Thursday afternoon. His distraught owners, French tourists Virginie Sibylle and Stéphane Tronche, issued a desperate plea for anyone in the area to look out for him. Fearing the worst, the couple, from Angers, north western France, urged anyone who saw Caramel to get in touch. However, almost 24-hours after going missing, the intrepid dog was finally found and reunited with Virginie and Stéphane. Despite surviving in the wild for a night, the couple said that he remained fit and healthy. They said: 'He's perfectly well. He smells like fish, that's it!' Caramel's whereabouts during the almost 24-hours he was missing remains a mystery, but the couple were relieved the ordeal was over. They had been worried that their holiday in nearby Balmaha was due to come to an end on Saturday, July 26, and they had held hopes of finding him before then. Issuing an appeal to walkers in the area, they said: 'He's easily recognisable as he's missing hair on his back so you can see his back skin.' He was then spotted by walkers and Virginie and Stéphane 'walked back and forth" until they saw him. The delighted couple said: 'A huge thanks to all of the community and special thanks to Rosie and Millow.' They also thanked the Facebook groups who had shared their appeal Caramel had been exploring the local area in the days prior to going missing, including a boat trip on the Steamship Sir Walter Scott across Loch Katrine.
