Passers-by may look twice when they spot a missing dog poster at a shopping centre.

Find our toy - Debbie and Elise Hills with the poster appealing for help Picture: ROB BROWNE

Debbie Hills, who lives in Billericay, has put up posters in the Eastgate Shopping Centre, Basildon, after her two-year-old daughter Elise lost her treasured brown and white fluffy toy dog on Thursday.

And while the toy would not be expensive to replace, Mrs Hills said it has "huge" sentimental value.

"It is her comfort toy and we haven't stopped crying since she lost it," said Mrs Hills.

If you have any information on the toy dog call Mrs Hills on 07973 951413.
