The spaniel, called Honey, was taken from Kent in December

A spaniel stolen two months ago from Kent has been found by police about 160 miles (257km) in Dorset.

Honey was discovered by rural crime officers on Monday during a visit to premises in west Dorset where they arrested a local man in his 30s.

He was later released on bail after being held on suspicion of taking or detaining a dog as well as firearms offences after a number of items were seized.

Checks by officers established the identity of the brown and white spaniel who was handed back to her "very happy" owners.
