Two Te Puke sisters have scraped up an $8000 reward for the safe return of their dog, which has been missing for nearly three months.
Dog trainer Mandy Wood took on her sister's blue-grey Staffy, Bolt, last year to socialise him with her dogs and train the two-year-old.
In January, Bolt was sent back to live with Wood's sister after a dog, which had been subjected to dogfighting and breeding, turned up at her door needing care.

Within two weeks, Bolt had disappeared.
