Frantic Alfie managed to splint Noodle's legs with help from his brother and neighbours before he rushed his pet to the nearest veterinary hospital.
When they arrived, Alfie was told his beloved dog would need emergency surgery to survive, but unfortunately, Noodle was not insured and the costs have left his owner with serious financial stress.
Aflie said: "I have an autistic spectrum disorder and Noodle helps me so much with that and also with my anxiety. He is such a massive
