A missing dog has sparked an urgent public appeal for information.
Louie, a 17-year-old dog, disappeared from a log cabin at Cropton Forest Park in Pickering on August 4.
He was last seen at the cabin of his owner, Susan, who was visiting from Sunderland.
Louie is on medication, and concerns for his wellbeing are growing as time passes.

A QR code on Louie’s collar, managed by dog tracking company Crumb, was scanned in the car park of Cropton Forest Holiday Park after he went missing.

The person who scanned the code allowed the GPS location to be shared with Susan, but Louie was not found.

The owner and a lost dog organisation think it could be slightly out and his location could have been near cabin 28 and 32.
Volunteers have searched the surrounding woodland, but there have been no confirmed sightings.
One volunteer said: "Sadly yes, I was part of a search party that tried to find him on Saturday.
"What's interesting is that Louie went missing from the decking of the cabin. Susan is positive that the gate was closed yet he managed to get out.
"She's a lovely lady with mobility issues so it's difficult for her to get around with out a scooter.
"Louie is a fit dog for his age and can do an hour's walk.
"We can't work out if he has been stolen or not."

The volunteer also expressed frustration that Crumb cannot share the contact details of the person who scanned the QR code, and that police have not become involved.
Susan has booked cabin 28 for next week for a return visit in the hope of finding Louie.
A recent social media appeal read: "This little dog has been missing since August 4 - his QR code was scanned in the car park at Cropton Forest Holiday Park after he had gone missing.
"Did you scan his code? His owner needs to know what has happened to him. Please ring 07516724081 or send a message"
