Speaking to Northglen News, the emotional pet owner, Lorna Sinclair said the family was besides themselves with worry.
Spot is believed to have run out of the property after the armed gang stormed the premises.
“He has never been out the yard, so he doesn’t even know what a car is. We are beside ourselves at the moment. We are asking the North Durban community to please keep an eye out for him or contact me on 083 388 9090,” she said.
