"After ensuring all would be OK at the vet, they then drove my relative home. Thankfully, his dog is going to be OK but had to have stitches and antibiotics but has been kept in to stay overnight. "If you might be able to share this in the hope they might come forward privately so my relative could properly thank them for going above and beyond I would be most grateful. "
