Dog gone: Sheridan Smith and her Shar-Pei dog Enid, who also went missing earlier this month and was found in Dagenham, miles from the actress's north London home


Gavin And Stacey and West End star Sheridan Smith has been left devastated after her beloved dog Enid was stolen from her home for a second time, she has revealed.

The 29-year-old actress - currently starring in the musical Legally Blonde - was only recently reunited with the black female Shar-Pei after she went missing earlier this month.

Smith has taken to Twitter to appeal for help in finding Enid yet again, but wrote earlier today: 'I don't know how to get through this.'

Posting on her official Twitter page (http://twitter.com/sheridansmith1) last night after discussing the matter with police, she revealed the dog was stolen from her London home on Thursday.

Smith, who's previously also starred in Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps and Jonathan Creek, posted up pictures of the pooch in a bid to help the search.
The originally Chinese breed are known for their wrinkled skin and blue-black tongues and puppies for anywhere between £300 and £1,000 depending on their breeding.

Smith revealed: 'The police are convinced that it is a repeat offence and that last time was no accident. On their advice, I can't give too much information.
'She needs daily medication and I'm worried about her health and safety.'
Talking to MailOnline this afternoon, a spokeswoman for Sheridan said there was still no news as to Enid's whereabouts. She added: 'She is distraught as you can imagine.'

When Enid went missing earlier this month, Smith appealed to her Twitter followers for help, and Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles spoke about her disappearance on the radio.
The dog, who is micro-chipped for identification purposes, was found in Dagenham and taken to Battersea Dogs Home where staff recognised her from the appeal.

But staggeringly, some Twitter users have been less than sympathetic about this second disappearance.

One follower called Daniel Butler wrote: 'Got no sympathy. To get it stolen once is terrible, but twice is completely stupid on your part. Didn't u learn u lesson.'

Smith, who split from comedian James Corden last year after a lengthy on-off relationship last year, blasted back to her detractors: 'She was stolen from my home! How could I stop them?! You heartless cruel human being.

'I genuinely hope no one ever breaks into YOUR home and steals something u love.'
