Jack’s owners daughter made an update on Facebook, writing: "Thanks everyone for sharing.

"After 5 weeks and thinking we'd never get her back. Jack is on her way home.

"She has been on a massive adventure and made it all the way to Yorkshire.

"She has a few wee scratches and seems to have gotten herself into a bit of a war with a few wild birds, but apart from that she was happy to be reunited.”
