Scots mum begs for driver to come forward as pet dog dies after 'hit-and-run'
27.04.2023 - 11:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A heartbroken mum who watched in horror as the family dog was knocked down by a car is begging for the driver to come forward after they allegedly failed to stop.
Caroline Johnson, from Ayr, rushed Shih Tzu cross Nikki to the vets on Monday night following the accident and discovered she had suffered a broken pelvis and dislocated hip.
The mum-of-three made the difficult decision to have the 10-year-old pooch put to sleep due to the £3000 cost of the operation and following vet advice that she’d likely be in ongoing pain for the rest of her life.

“Accidents do happen, I understand that, but to not acknowledge or check up on the animal which your vehicle hit is not acceptable. I haven’t reported it to the police yet because myself and the kids are still processing it. We got Nikki just after my youngest’s first birthday.
“My 21-year-old is at university in Edinburgh so I had to phone him and tell him. My other two kids were with their dad when it happened. I phoned him to take me to the vets with Nikki so the kids and their dad were there the whole time.
“She had a broken pelvis and a dislocated hip. The operation would cost us £3000 but she would be in pain and on medication for the rest of her life.
“I couldn't afford that but also didn't want her to be in pain so we had to put her to sleep then pay a vet bill of over £800.”
Recalling the accident, Caroline added: “I was inside making
