M62 roadworkers have made it a happy Christmas for a Cleckheaton family.
The Highways Agency and Yorkshire Animal Ambulance helped to reunite the family with their missing pet pooch.
The Hardy family were distraught when Norman, a two-year-old Parson Russell Terrier, disappeared while out on a Sunday morning jog with dad David in Wellands Lane, Scholes.
But two days later, Highways Agency contractors working on the M62 between Brighouse and Chain Bar picked up the pet after they spotted him wandering along the roadworks lane.
Traffic officers from the Highways Agency took the dog to the nearby Hartshead Moor services, where they called on Suzanne Waller, owner of Yorkshire Animal Ambulance, for help.
Suzanne recognised him from an appeal on Facebook and got in touch with the relieved owners.
Karen Hardy, who lives with David and their two sons, Sam, 23, and Will, 16, said Norman was soon back to his usual self.
