Patricia Veras, 37, lost her 10-month-old puppy Lily on Friday, and has been frantically searching the park ever since.

Her three sons, aged 12, 11 and 9 are desperate to get her back.

Ms Veras said: “We need to know where she has gone – we haven’t been able to live properly.

“Yesterday my son dreamed she came back, she’s just our baby.

“It is terrible going home and not seeing her. She would jump all over us and bite us with happiness. She’s a crazy dog. A very cheeky dog.

“It is a mystery – the CCTV cameras show her going through a bush near the Babylon café where there is a lake. I’m hoping that she’s not drowned, and that she is safe.”
