“I would urge anyone with information regarding Stephanie’s whereabouts, or who sees a woman matching the description given with her dog, to please contact us immediately.
“I would also like to make a direct plea to Stephanie if you see this appeal – please make contact with us or your family and let us know where you are so we can make sure you are all right.”
