Luna, a ten-week-old labrador cross retriever, died one week after she was bought for £500 from an online advert.
A heartbroken family has issued a stark warning over illicit breeders after their tiny labrador puppy died a week after bringing her home.
The online advert - which was removed after the Record contacted the breeder - described Luna and her siblings as being nine-weeks-old, microchipped, "socialised" and "ready for their new homes". Thomas told the Record: "The day we took her home, she was so happy and full of energy and life but the following day, everything changed. She wasn't eating or drinking then suddenly started being sick, had really bad diarrhoea and became very tired.
"We were told to expect a phone call to say her heart had stopped, but somehow, she pulled through the night."We are all absolutely devastated. We expected to have her for so many years but instead, we only had one week." "I regret not making myself more informed and there are so many things I'd do differently if I could go back in time."
