Leigh Cole is ecstatic to be reunited with his English staffy dog Evie four days after she disappeared from a Kohimarama home while her family ate Christmas lunch. Photo: SuppliedThe Auckland family of a beloved pet dog who went missing while they ate Christmas lunch has had their Christmas wish come true after the pooch was returned this morning. Grace Taylor said her uncle Leigh Cole was "ecstatic" after collecting the English staffy from a woman in Stonefields this morning. Evie was on the front lawn with two other dogs, both poodle-crosses, before she went missing. The woman took Evie to the pound but they would not give her the owner's details so she looked online and found the missing dog ad they had placed, Taylor said.
