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.

      What kind of spray are you talking about? I was talking about the skunk’s defensive spray, which makes its enemies all stinky. If you sit outside in your yard or garden at night and wait with food, you can feed the wild skunks by hand and they won’t spray you with their stinky stuff. It takes time, but you can do that. Skunks don’t spray unless they feel threatened. If you show them you’re a friend with food, they are not going to make you all stinky. I like spraying people, but from another body part that is not the anus, and only if I think the people are hot and looking for some of my spray.
