A traumatised dog owner is scrambling for cash to pay for vet bills after her beloved pooch was pulled under an Audi in a horrific hit-and-run.
Denise Morley's 13-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Barney suffered major fractures to his pelvis following the incident in Stockport, earlier this month. Denise, 75, says she can't stop reliving what happened and now needs an extra £3,000 to help pay for Barney's treatment.
Barney was struck by the black car just metres from Denise's home, at around 11am on August 12. The driver, who slowed down as they passed by, appeared to 'swerve' and hit the dog as he took a step into the road, the Mirror reports.
