A WATCHET couple have appealed for help after their beloved family pets, border collies Frazer and Bonnie, disappeared overnight from their home.

The dogs have free range of David and Janet Masters' paddock at Faircross and sleep outside in a kennel.

But the pair are very much part of the family and their disappearance is completely out of character.

Mrs Masters said Frazer never strayed far from home, while Bonnie was extremely timid and would not leave the confines of the paddock.

"We went to feed them on Tuesday morning and to take them for a walk and they weren't there.

"It's very unusual and I'm really worried someone's taken them as they are both very friendly," Mrs Masters said.

Both dogs are black and white, while Frazer is three years old and Bonnie is around 16 months.

Anyone with information about the dogs' whereabouts should contact Mr and Mrs Masters on 01984 640567 or 07824 901764.
