A heartbroken mum who watched in horror as the family dog was knocked down by a car is begging for the driver to come forward after they allegedly failed to stop.
Caroline Johnson, from Ayr, rushed Shih Tzu cross Nikki to the vets on Monday night following the accident and discovered she had suffered a broken pelvis and dislocated hip.
The mum-of-three made the difficult decision to have the 10-year-old pooch put to sleep due to the £3000 cost of the operation and following vet advice that she’d likely be in ongoing pain for the rest of her life.
