Wallsend dog owner's desperate plea to save puppy's life after a devastating diagnosis

A dog owner is looking to raise £12,000 for operations on her 'beloved' pup Truffle who has severe hip dysplasia.

Aged just nine months, the lilac and tan sharpei is known to be playful, gentle and a loving little soul who enjoys her walks as much as her naps. Her owner Laurie Laws, 27 from Wallsend is ‘heartbroken’ and she and her family are doing everything they can to afford Truffle a life-saving operation that will cost £12,000 in total.

Laurie says: “We have been informed that she will need both of her hips replaced which will cost 8k per hip and the surgeries for her luxating patella will cost around 4-5k. In total, this would be within the region of £20k.
