Scafell Pike lost dog appeal goes viral

An appeal to find a dog that went missing in the Lake District has gone viral.

Owner Adam Nolan, from Whitehaven, put out the appeal after losing his Border Collie 'Jasper' at Cam Spout Crag below Scafell Pike on 2nd November.

"I know people may say 'he's just a dog'," says Adam on Facebook, "but to me he leaves the same void as if I were to lose someone very close to me."

His appeal on Facebook has had over 60,000 people sharing the link. On Twitter hundreds of people are also offering their support.
