A heartbroken dog owner whose pet was killed after running out in front of a car has hit out at an insurance company for a “callous and uncompassionate” response. Sue Kennedy, from Cury near Helston, Cornwall, lost her beloved Yorkshire terrier Bonnie after an accident outside her home.
She told CornwallLive she received a response from Animal Friends insurance company that appeared to suggest she had been guilty of an offence under the Road Traffic Act. Sue said: “We’re two weeks on now and the pain is still very much there.
“Throughout our 35-year marriage we have owned dogs, usually two, but sometimes three or four, and anyone who knows us knows our dogs have been the centre of our world. We have always taken insurance out for them, paid for grooming and kept their inoculations up to date and up to now our dogs have lived to a good age.
