A dog who was missing for five months is “happy to be back” after surviving the winter in rural Pembrokeshire.

Costa, a three-year-old Newfoundland Cross from Greenacres Rescue Centre in Haverfordwest, was being rehomed when he ran away at the end of September.

Since then he has endured living in the wild, braving storms, freezing temperatures and heavy rain.

It was feared he was dead, but rescuers lured him into a rescue trap using chicken broth.

Centre manager Mikey Lawler said Costa is “a bit tatty” but doing well.
