Tess was returning home in her car when her pet dog, a Maltese Shih Tzu named Minnie escaped from her luxurious mansion in Buckinghamshire. It was because the builders had left the door open. Tess mistakenly ran over the dog and killed it in the process.

“I’m devastated by this terrible accident. It’s a dog owner’s worst nightmare.
“It has had a huge effect on the whole family and we are heartbroken at losing Minnie.
