A BEAGLE and his owner, who were subjected to a terrifying attack in a Birmingham park, were given an early Christmas present after a Rushock pet food company heard of their ordeal.
Fish4Dogs sent Adam Colvin and one-year-old Chester a box of goodies as a show of support after two thugs tried to snatch the dog while they were walking in Sutton Park.
Mr Colvin was pushed to the ground during the attack but he managed to fight them off and run to safety with Chester in his arms.
The pair were presented with a box of dog food and treats.
Adam said: “We are really touched Fish4Dogs would make so much effort to do something so nice for us.
“I have always loved Beagles so worked and saved to buy one, so I wasn’t going to let Chester go easily.
“Chester is delighted with his goody box, he got very excited as soon as he sniffed out the contents and couldn’t wait to try them out.”
Jo Little, who does marketing for Fish4Dogs, said they were truly shocked after hearing about the ordeal.
“It must have been extremely traumatic,” she added.
“We applaud Adam’s courage in rescuing Chester and helping raise attention to what happened, so that other dog owners can be extra vigilant.”
