Dom and Vicky have lost their beloved puppy Buddy, who was killed by another dog in a traumatic attack yesterday. Dominic is just 16, he lost his father a few years ago and Vicky is undergoing gruelling treatment for breast cancer which is still ongoing.

Buddy was a healing dog and was Dom's lifeline in difficult times, and the loss of Buddy is devastating to Dom, Vicky and their wider family too.

Money can't bring Buddy back, but it can help to pay the vet bill for the attack (Buddy received vet care before he died the same day), also to help them get another puppy when the time is right, and to give Vicky and Dom some money to have a mini break, or whatever they choose to help their healing and recovery.

Thank you for your donation, it will mean the world to them.
