She was stashed away in the boot of a car.

Saved by the police after a car chase through York, this French bulldog now wants to be reunited with her owners.

Her rescue began around 9.30pm on Tuesday, 28 January, when a light blue BMW 3 series failed to stop for police on Foss Islands Road in York.

Following a short pursuit, the car was stopped by police and the 18-year-old driver from Doncaster was arrested.

Officers searched the vehicle and found the dog in the boot.

Checked by a vet

She was taken to a local vet where she was checked over and found to have no injury and be in good health.

She is believed to be around two years of age and is a brindle colour.

The dog is micro chipped. But police enquiries have not be able to locate her owner, so officers are now appealing for the public’s assistance to reunite them with their dog.
