A family in Cornwall has thanked the community for its support after announcing the death of their greyhound, who went missing on Boxing Day, 2022.

In December, the Packet reported how Honey the greyhound had become spooked on a walk and ran off during a walk with owner Bryan Mills. 

Honey, was an ex-racing greyhound and was said to "cover ground quickly" by Bryan. 

After reported sightings of Honey at Camborne College, Tipton Road and again at Tehidy Woods, Camborne, the community – including missing dog charities - continued to search for her.

However, on Sunday Bryan announced on his Facebook page that sadly, Honey had died near the A30 at Pool. 

Brian said: “Thank you all for looking, sharing and putting up posters.

“Unfortunately, Honey the greyhound was recovered deceased today.

“When she was found, she wasn’t showing any sign of entanglement, distress, malnutrition, cold or panic – it may have been that her heart gave out.”

Bryan continued: “Thank you very much for the kind gentleman who located and assisted her in her recovery in the pouring rain.

“Thank you all once again for trying so hard to make a happier ending it means a lot."

He also told the Packet: "A massive thank you to Maxine Young from Dogs Lost UK, Phil Warne – who searched day and night for Honey - and Russet Greyhound Trust.”
