A woman is urging dog owners to take care this fireworks season after the death of her beloved bearded collie.

Michelle Kennedy and her family, from Berwick-upon-Tweed, were 'devastated' after two-year-old Mida ran away on Bonfire Night in 2017.

She was found two days later after being hit by a train.

Ms Kennedy said: "My dad was walking our two bearded collies around 5pm on Bonfire Night.

"It was just starting to turn to twilight, so it wasn’t quite dark yet."

Unfortunately the nearby caravan site had begun its display early, with no warning.

Ms Kennedy said: "The show was about 100 metres from where my dad was, and both dogs got a fright and ran away.

"My dad managed to get a hold of Dezzie, but lost Mida.

"After two days of searching by the whole community, she was found on the train track and had been hit by a train."

Ms Kennedy said Mida’s death caused an 'immense amount of stress' for those involved.

She said: "The loss was awful for all of us, and especially for my mum and dad.

"My mum was extremely upset and still carries the emotional scars with her, while my dad suffers with the guilt of this a lot."
