CHILDREN have been left heartbroken after their beloved bulldog was stolen from their home in Winsford.

Poppy, a black brindle French bulldog, was taken from the back garden of a house on Dart Walk in Wharton at around 8pm last night, Wednesday.

Mum-of-four Ashlee Weedall said: "The kids are heartbroken. Poppy has severe PTSD and is a very shy timid dog. She's probably so scared."
