A dogwalker crushed beneath a giant tree was saved with the help of his beloved pet who refused to abandon his side.
Malcolm Myers, 63, was walking Yorkshire terrier Buddy on Wednesday when a horse chestnut tree came crashing down from a garden.
Mr Myers, a semi-retired businessman, was hit in the back and the neck by branches, and was buried by foliage as he passed the Sowerby Institute near his home in Thirsk, North Yorkshire.
