Wave of public support in hunt for dog lost down rabbit hole at Sussex park
The dog - a Jack Russell crossbreed called Quinn - has now been missing for seven days after vanishing in Sandgate Park, Storrington.
A massive search has been launched but so far there has been no sighting of the little dog.

Hide AdDistraught owner Melissa Moremon, who works for the RSPCA animal charity at its headquarters in Southwater - where Quinn is a mascot - said: “I hate to think of him in the dark all alone wondering where I am and I am hoping someone might have some ideas what we can do to find him and bring him home.”
A crowdfunding appeal has been set up to try to raise £2,500 to pay for specialist tracking equipment and by this afternoon nearly £1,900 had been raised.
Meanwhile, people have taken to social media with messages of support for Melissa. One woman said: “Hoping and praying for some sighting.” And another posted: “Keeping my fingers crossed.”
There have also been suggestions that metal detectorists could join in the hunt for the lost pet.
