A devastated dog owner who begged for the safe return of her stolen puppy has finally learned the devastating truth - after a judge sensationally unmasked the likely culprit as her ex-partner.
For nearly seven months, Ewa Hunt, 56, has lived in torment after her nine-month-old Shepadoodle puppy, Bruno, was snatched in a brazen burglary caught on CCTV, at her home in Featherstone, West Yorks.
But the dog-kidnapping became a key point during a family court hearing between Ms Hunt and her ex, Allan Towell, in which she sought, and was granted, a non-molestation order against him.
Bruno's mother, Molly, was also taken during the burglary in February, but found six days later - 25 miles away in Goole, East Yorkshire.
Bruno, heartbreakingly, vanished without trace.
