A dog owner has been left distraught after her pet was stolen by a fake Good Samaritan while she was having a heart attack. Kat Conway, 50, was out walking her Shih Poo called Jessie near St Pancras Station in north London when she collapsed to the pavement last Monday.

She remembers a blond man rushing over to help her but says he then ran off with the apricot-coloured pooch.

Kat was rushed to hospital and has since been discharged, but there is still no sign of Jessie.

An online appeal has been launched on Facebook called Find Wee Jessie.

It reads: ‘We believe the blond haired man has her dog. But as yet he does not have seemed to have contacted the police or dog warden to report that he has the dog.

‘We are looking for any hotel staff or passers by who witness what happened.’

A Met Police spokesperson said: ‘Police are investigating an allegation of theft after a dog was reportedly stolen in Euston Road, NW1, on the afternoon of Monday, June 6.

‘Officers have taken a statement from the informant and enquiries are ongoing.’
