A story that will both warm and break your heart. Carly Riley, from Essex, was out on a walk with her three sons and their new puppy Geo. As the family waited at the corner to cross the stree, an out of control truck driver came speed over the curb and headed straight for one her her sons, 10 year old Charlie.
Geo jumped in front of the boy, pushed him out of the way, and was hit by the truck. He was sent into the street where the driver hit him again before taking off.
Geo suffered from a broken leg, a broken spine, and internal injuries. Fortunately however, he is made a full recovery. Unfortunately, the vet fees may set the family back $16,000. According to Carly, putting him down wasn't even an option; they wanted to heal him at all costs.
The Rileys have set up a facebook page to share Geo's progress and ask for donations that can go towards paying his bills. Riley says; "Geo and the boys have a fantastic relationship....He is family."
