Poor thing 😔
A Long Eaton couple has been left traumatised after their dog was injured by a motocross bike at a popular local beauty spot. Tony Yates, 54, who works on the railway, was walking their dog Bella - a Whippet cross - when she was "flung into the air" after being hit by the off-road motorbike.
"And that's when Tony called me. One of the cyclists came back, I don't know if it was the one who ran her over, I presume so because they were all masked, so we couldn't identify them. What was awful is that my partner Tony was in a deep state of distress and the dog was unable to move... and the cyclist came back... he [Tony] could see an expression of mockery."
She has since had an operation and currently requires 24-hour care. "The first two or three nights she was just whining all night, she's on painkillers. "She's just lovely, she's a Whippet cross. She's just a gentle little Whippet." Diana and Tony said their insurance covers £7,000 over the course of a year, but only covers a maximum of £2,000 per claim.
A fundraiser has been set up by Diana's friend to help raise funds for Bella's medical care. Speaking on the support from the local community, Diana added: "What's really touching out of the horror of all this is the people that came to help us. This is my most positive experience of social media, it's been amazing.
Derbyshire Police said: "We were contacted with a report of a dog being hit by motocross bikes at around 8.20pm on Thursday July 13. However, the informant ended the call before we were able to take all the details from them as, understandably, they wanted to take their dog to the vet for treatment.
