A much-loved rescue dog had to be put to sleep after suffering two fits and internal bleeding on Bonfire Night. His devastated owners Sarah and Mark Frost say their 12-year-old collie was literally scared to death by fireworks.
As reported by Leicestershire Live, Derry fell ill during a private firework display near their home in Desford on Saturday, November 5. Sarah, 54, said the village sounded like a "warzone".
Mark heard a loud noise coming from upstairs and found Derry "thrashing" around on the floor. Their pet then lost control of his body, urinated and defecated and was left unable to walk or move.
