“For the subsequent week we spent each day together with her and it did take 4 or 5 days for her to return and settle for us. But by the tip of the week she fortunately got here home with us.”
Robbie added: “We call her Mazie – the ‘May’ as she was found in May and Mazie in full because she is amazing.”
