A dog has been reunited with its owners four years since he was stolen from their home after a friend spotted it for sale on Facebook. Cotton, a Staffordshire bull terrier, was taken from Joanna Martin’s previous home in Hartcliffe in Bristol on October 25, 2008, after she had gone out to visit her mother who lives nearby. But she never gave up hope that one day she would be reunited with her 'little boy'. Amazed: Cotton the dog, pictured with one of his owners Katie Martin, six, was discovered for sale on Facebook four years after being stolen And now her daughters Kira, 12, and Katie, six - who is the same age as Cotton - are making up for lost time with their pet.
