Joanne, I only just saw this and got chills reading that - inorant fool that man is.
I'm so so glad your baby did well through surgery - I bet he'll bounce back and he's certainly got lovely owners who'll spoil him rotten.
DO NOT beat yoourself up over this, II had a very lucky escape with Indie at around the same age, and he's now great off lead.
Is Scooby insured? I'm thinking if not I'd be asking that bloody man to help with the costs, that's just completely irresponsible behaviour.
I hope he's home soon, bless him
Shona xx
