A dingo named Eggy is on the loose after having escaped his Sydney sanctuary earlier this month.

Residents in the suburb of Glenmore Park, near Penrith, reported seeing Eggy nonchalantly walking the streets.

The operators of a nearby sanctuary along with the local council are attempting to track the wily dingo down and return him home.

Residents have been posting their sightings online in an attempt to help authorities come into contact with Eggy.

Anyone who spots him is advised not to approach him but rather to contact the Dingo Den in Sydney.
