A dog owner moved away after his beloved pet was 'stabbed' and no-one was convicted of the crime.
One year ago, Kyle Mason's dog Robbie died after being attacked near his home in Bensham, Gateshead. The cross breed had found his way into the back alley and returned covered in blood.
Kyle, who is autistic and relied on Robbie for support, rushed him to the PDSA hospital where he was treated. However Robbie, who had two large gashes on his body, passed away just hours later.
