Delight As Wandering Pet Skunk Finally Caught

A pet skunk which was on the loose in Market Harborough has finally been caught.

There had been numerous sightings of Dominika on the Ashley Way estate since she escaped from her owner’s home in Braybrooke last week, but the animal had proved hard to catch.

She was eventually found sleeping in a shed on Rookwell Drive in Little Bowden and later reunited with Jayne McLaughlin, after the homeowner initially called a veterinary surgery for advice.

Residents had been passing on sightings of 17-week old Dominika to Jayne, including images captured on CCTV, but by the time she got to the area her pet had moved on.

The pair have now been reunited and Jayne, who has three other skunks, is thanking everyone who assisted in the search effort:
