Did you stop and help dog?
FAMILY BID TO TRACE COUPLE WHO ASSISTED THEIR PET HURT IN ROAD ACCIDENT
an Audi Q3, had stopped to assist the family’s pet after the car involved in the incident sped away – and now Charlotte wants to find them to say thank you.
The driver of the car that stopped to help them was a woman.
Charlotte told the Echo: “ThankGodheisgettingbetter everyday,wedidn’thavemuch hope on the night, the couple whostoppedtohelpwerereally concerned and if they didn’t stop, God only knows ...”
The incident happened on October 22. Rumble is now on the mend, but it was a difficult week for Charlotte and sons Jack, eight, and Leo, one, as they waited to find out if their pet would pull through.
Rumble was looked after overnight by the PDSA in Gateshead, and has since been on antibiotics and painkillers to help him recover from the incident at home.
He still has a few limps and aches, said Charlotte, and his cuts are healing slowly but surely. He has also started to eat small amounts of food.
The 26-year-old mum added: “I still hold on to hope I find the lady that helped save Rumble. I hope to find who did this too.”
