It's like a scene from 101 Dalmatians. Three dobermans and 11 puppies are living in harmony and their owner could not be happier
Theresa Marks was devastated when her pet doberman Zina disappeared three months ago.
Today she is back home - and with 11 new puppies.
A hunt was launched after Zina went missing in March while Theresa was on holiday in America.
Relatives and friends combed roads near Cloes Lane in Clacton and a poster campaign was mounted to try to get find her.
After a fruitless search, Theresa decided to buy another doberman to replace her.
But when the family couldn't decide between two, they took both.
But then Zina was found and has now been reunited with her owner complete with her new puppies.
Theresa said she was over the moon to have her back.
"She has lost a lot of weight but she's on the mend," she said.
Police are continuing their investigations into Zina's disappearance
