The cockapoo went missing on Monday night after his 72-year-old owner Jennifer Lowden was run over in Torpoint.

A social media campaign attracted thousands of people to share his story in the hope of finding him.

An appeal by Torpoint Police was viewed more than 70,000 times and the #findbarney trending on twitter.

Barney is now back with his owner's family.
