Woman who 'likes being walked on dog's lead' goes missing in US

A 23-year-old American woman who made headlines when she was spotted being walked around on a dog’s lead has gone missing.

Anna Teshu, from New York, was last seen at around 10.30pm on Christmas Eve.

She became known in May 2015 when her then-fiancé was seen walking her around on a leash.

The pair’s hobby is part of what is known as “puppy play”, local media the Staten Island Advance reported.

Ms Teshu, who called herself ‘Xena’, had previously faced animal cruelty charges but it was found she was unfit to stand trial.

She went missing from her mum’s home, police said.
