A mum has been left heartbroken after her dog died in her arms after being run over in Edinburgh. Laura Kilgallon, 40, had been out walking her beloved eight-year-old Shih Tzu, Woody, when a motor, believed to be a private hire taxi, struck the pooch.
She had been crossing a road in the Buckstone Bank area of the city at around 8pm on Friday, December 2, when the pet was run over. The nurse claims that the driver of the taxi said that he hadn't seen the dog before getting back in his vehicle and driving off to complete the job.
Laura was left scrambling for help as the furry family member died in her arms, before she had to go home and break the devastating news to her children just weeks before Christmas.
