The ill dog escaped from her new home in Berea West, a few days after she was rescued by John Makrinos.
According to Makrinos, Astrid has a rare medical condition and needs to be given her medication urgently.
“This is her second escape since I brought her home on Thursday. After taking her to a vet, it was clear she needed urgent surgery and was booked in for Monday,” said Makrinos.
Makrinos is desperate to have Astrid back and has offered a R1000 reward for her safe return.
