FRANTIC with worry, Margaret Young put up posters and called the Daily Echo asking for help finding Chico the missing Chihuahua.

And it was only when Margaret went to fetch a jumper to aid a night time search for the tiny pet that she found her safe and well - hiding in the wardrobe!

Margaret, who was looking after the pet for daughter-in-law Eden who has just given birth, said: "She has just had a little girl and I was dreading having to tell her we had lost Chico.

"Chico is usually a noisy little thing, always yapping, but she stayed totally silent in that wardrobe and didn't even make any mess!

"I couldn't stop laughing when I found her there, it was such a relief."
