An elderly woman has been left heartbroken after her "gorgeous" dog died after fireworks were thrown in his direction. One-year-old Button was the faithful companion and "best friend" of Gillian, 86.
But during a walk he ran off after being frightened by fireworks which his family say were thrown towards him. A massive search was carried out but it was only four days later when the tiny Shih Tzu's body was found on a beach, reports Chronicle Live.
The incident happened during an early evening walk on Foxhunters Playing Field in North Shields. And the pet's death has left his whole family devastated.
