Hitchin Chihuahua dumped in Santa sack reunited with its owner

Letter, Samantha Jones, Eragon, Stephen Reeves and Santa sack
Samantha said it was "so lovely to have him home again in time for Christmas"

A Chihuahua dumped at a church in Hertfordshire in a Santa sack has been reunited with his owner four months after he went missing.
The dog, called Eragon, was found by children attending a service at St Mary's Church, Hitchin, on Tuesday.
He was accompanied by a note asking, "please find me a lovely new home".
The RSPCA scanned his microchip and found he belonged to Samantha Jones from Bowditch in south London. She had lost the dog during a walk in August.
The reunion was "a lovely surprise", said Ms Jones, adding: "I thought I would never see him again.
"I was especially shocked to find he was in Hertfordshire - quite a way from my London home."   More - BBC News
