GOGGIE, a 14-month-old Bearded Dragon, who went missing last month has been found safe and well in Ludgershall.
His owner, Jane Nash, bought the Bearded Dragon after her youngest daughter, who is 11-years-old, saved up all of her pocket money to buy Goggie as soon as they moved into their forever home.

Speaking to the Advertiser previsoulsy Jane said: "We would rather have Goggie home than win the lottery. We have been out looking everywhere for him, but we don't call his name unless we are in the garden because we want him to know where to come home too.
"We let him roam around the house and unfortunately the back door was slightly left open, so he sadly got out, but we have put posters up everywhere to try and help find him. People around here have been great in trying to also help find Goggie!"
Now the Bearded Dragon is back where he belongs, at home.
Due to the recent heatwave, Goggie's current colours camoflauge him. However, Jane's hopes have come true after she said that the wetter weather would bring their bearded dragon out of hiding and back home.
Jane added:"Honestly I couldn't thank the people of Ludgershall enough. It has really made the town feel like a community. Goggie was found 64 houses down the road from us at the other end of Ludgershall in a front garden. The lovely owners were gardening and saw him sunbathing in their hedge. Just pure luck and good timing. Will be forever grateful to them."

The lost dragon was found by husband and wife Marion and Ray Horne.
Delighted residents took to the Ludgershall Shout Out community Facebook group to share their delight.
Donna Holden posted: "I am so happy for you now Mr Googie be a good boy and no more running way."
While Graham Howard added: "What a lovely ending to a great story, full of mystery anguish and now elation, your happy faces bring a bright conclusion to Goggies story."
Another, Sam Slevin said: "I've been following this one, with not much hope to be honest. So glad you've got him back. Hope he's OK and getting lots of love."
