A Scots dog has been left in a "life threatening" condition as her family believe she was mowed down by a vehicle that failed to stop.
Nelly, a two-year-old Cairn Terrier, managed to escape from the front garden of her Aberdeenshire home last Tuesday when workmen failed to latch the gate properly.
Within three minutes of being outside, little Nelly was injured and her family believe she was mowed down right outside her home as the vehicle left her by the side of the road 'bleeding and in pain'.
