A deaf pet skunk that escaped from a garden has been found.

Sky went missing from her home in Purewell, Christchurch, Dorset, on Friday night.

Owner Sharon Tyler said the seven-year-old pet was spotted relaxing under a car close to her home during a search with friends and neighbours late at night on Tuesday.

The brown and white skunk was reunited with Ms Tyler after some coaxing with a piece of chicken.

So cute. You can make friends with wild skunks, actually, I've been doing this since age 7. They love peanuts. If you have food to give to them, they will not spray you, and you can pet them in your back yard! They're so cute and fun to interact with, and they don't even have to be domesticated.

Sure. You're definitely human and not a skunk who likes spraying people.
