Samantha's 15 month-old Cocker Spaniel Percy died last month when a piece of a treat broke off in his throat and caused him to choke.
After realising what had happened, Samantha rushed the 15-month-old Cocker Spaniel to the vets but there was nothing that could be done.

She said: “We are beyond heartbroken, shocked and devastated.
“We know that this was a complete freak accident and that dogs can choke on anything and everything, but I just wanted to make people aware of what can happen.
“The fact that this happened on something that can be bought in so many pet stores, hopefully people seeing this will mean that it won’t happen to anyone else’s dog.

“After being a little family of three for just over a year, Percy didn’t come home with us.
