A sailor injured at work spent all of his £4000 compensation cash to help the physio dog who he said saved his life.
Paul Farley, 56, an ex-coxman with Marine Scotland, drove through the night to take Georgie to be seen by TV vet Noel Fitzpatrick after she suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. He had adopted the Japanese Akita, 11, after being badly hurt near Lewis when a 2.5-ton inflatable boat on the ship fell on him and he had to give up work.
Georgie came to live with Paul after the accident to help him with his physiotherapy and the pair were inseparable. Paul said: “It cost £4000 to pay her vet bill, which is the best thing I ever did. She came to me to help me walk again and, in the end, I helped her get back on all four feet.
