She tweeted to her 2.7million followers: “I know this is a long shot. My dog Bo was picked up in Tunbridge Wells by two ladies and they told someone who told me that they were taking her to a vet . She is chipped.

“I’ve called every vet locally 5 mile radius. Please let me know which vets. X please RT.”

Dog lovers keen to help McCall acted quickly, and her tweet was shared over 2,000 times.

Luckily the appeal was effective and within a couple of hours she updated fans.

McCall later tweeted her frustration over the incident being reported as if her dog had been stolen by the two women, something she was keen to clarify wasn’t the case.

She told fans: “My dog was found on the road outside my house and two ladies very sweetly rescued her and took her to the dog warden.

“She was not stolen as some people are reporting . They were looking after her.”
