A "heartbroken" family from Liverpool have been left with a £6,000 bill to foot after their dog was left close to death in the middle of the road.
Ashleigh Howey, 26, from Halewood, and her young son Kaiden were "devastated" when their new puppy, called Buddy, was hit by a car last week after he escaped from their home. The young family were left with a tough decision, to have Buddy put down or to save his life at the steep cost of a £6,000 bill.
However, Ashleigh said that the decision was a simple one and she accepted the price of private veterinary care to save Buddy's life. She has already paid some of it through savings, but is now staring up at the steep price of having saved her little boy's best friend.
