Working in a local paper, you get to write about lots of stories.
Good news and bad, happy stories and sad.
For the past two weeks I've been keeping an eye on the search for Duke and Daisy.
These two beautiful Spaniels went missing, most likely stolen, from their home.
Their heartbroken owners have launched a major search for them, including setting up a Facebook page, distributing leaflets and putting up posters.
So far there's been no positive sightings, but as a dog owner, I'm really hoping this story has a happy ending.
