A DOG owner is considering moving house after six months of yobs leaving broken glass left her dogs paw with an open cut.

Karen Vaughan slammed the anti-social behaviour that takes place near Mossbank home as yobs continue to drink.

The school teacher has been appalled by the number of smashed bottles of booze that is left lying after large groups gather in an area known as “The Bing”.

The grassy stretch next to St Cuthbert’s in Prestwick has become a concern for residents, but Karen was left fuming after Alfie was left gushing from an open wound.

Karen told the Ayr Advertiser: “He’s a young bouncy dog, he had bounced into the undergrowth and when I got home and he walked across the hall I noticed a bit of blood.

“So I picked up his paws to start checking and it literally pretty much gushed.

“The way he had caught himself he’d actually sliced the whole back main pad of his paw.

“Karen took her pup to the vets who had to perform surgery to stitch his paw back together. The injury meant that her excitable pup wasn’t able to walk for four weeks.

Karen added: “My poor dog didn’t know what had hit him he was just out bouncing about trying to sniff out rabbits.

“It was a strain for the whole family, he kept trying to jump about, but the wound would reopen, we had some sleepless nights making sure he didn’t do any more damage to it.”

For Karen, the injury to her innocent young pup was the last straw. She added: “I am furious. It’s just getting beyond a joke now.

"The police and fire engines are out there most of the time, but there’s nothing they can do.

"I’m actually at the point when I’m thinking of moving house.

Karen who has lived in the area for 10 years said this is the worst it has ever been.

Fellow neighbours who have dogs have been out in force picking up glass with Karen filling up three quarters of a large bucket with shards of broken bottles.

A spokesman for South Ayrshire council said: “The Council deals with broken glass on a daily basis.

“But we can’t be everywhere and given that broken glass is not only unsightly but potentially dangerous, we are asking people to behave responsibly and dispose of their rubbish in litter bins or in their recycling bins at home.”
