Lost dog 'vanished off the face of the earth'
A woman whose dog went missing has said it was as if he "vanished off the face of the earth".
Heather Buckingham, from Crosskeys in Caerphilly county, lost her dog Archie, a duck toller, in March while out walking.
Archie had a microchip and tattoo, but has not been found and she suspects he has been picked up and moved on.
Countryside Alliance Cymru said working dogs were being targeted for their value and thinks microchipping legislation must go further to protect pets and owners.
The Welsh Government said it was assessing the effectiveness of current legislation and will consider any amendments.
