The owners of a ‘miracle dog’ had just landed back in England from a holiday when they received the shocking news that their beloved Shar Pei had been hit by a train and was critically injured. Amy and Reece Parkinson, from Aspull in Wigan, rushed out of the airport as quickly as they could to get to the emergency vet in Leigh where Reggie was being kept on June 18.
‘Mr Crinkles’, as he is known, was staying at Amy’s father’s house whilst they were away in Spain and had managed to escape the garden and go onto the train tracks behind where he lives in Hart Common, Westhoughton. Reggie had severed his tail, had dozens of lacerations to his head and body, as well as various fractures and dislocations to his limbs.
