AN OXFORD cinema has teamed up with a charity in hope of helping to reunite missing dogs with their owners.

Odeon in George Street has put up posters in their premises on behalf of DogLost UK, advertising the disappearance of dogs in the area.

One of them is Long Hanborough dog Tilly, who went missing in September and is feared stolen.

Her distraught owners have set up a social media campign to help find the Tibetan Terrier. 

Odeon's partnership with DogLost marks the release of the film A Dog's Way Home, about dog that becomes separated from its owner and journeys 400 miles to find him again.

The cinema chain said Oxford 'is one of the top regions in the UK where the charity is in most need of support', and that it plans to distribute hundreds of posters of missing dogs from the area in case a cinema-goer recognises them.

Rachael Higginson, general manager at Odeon George Street, said, “We are pleased to be supporting the brilliant work that DogLost UK do in the local community.

"It’s great that we can help do our bit to try and reunite dogs with their owners, whilst helping to raise important awareness for DogLost."

DogLost has an Oxfordshire team and a dedicated page on Facebook where dog owners in the county can appeal for help if their pet goes missing.
