Beloved dog got run over due to negligence of vet!

My beloved Ritzy (Schnauzer x Poodle) died horrifically on 31 July 2015 due to the negligence of a Vet. <br> I am writing to you because I don't want this to ever happen to any other animal in the care at the vet involved.<br> Ritzy was bitten by a bontpoot tick and as soon as we discovered this we immediately took her to the vet for treatment on 22 July 2015. She didn't get tick-bite fever however they had to cut out all the dead and infected tissue on the back of her leg. She was in their care for almost a week and I visited her everyday after work. She definitely didn't want to be there that was very clear. But she had to stay to get the best treatment possible. On Sunday 26 July 2015 I was allowed to take her home and take her back every 2nd day for bandage changes. <br> When I took her back for her 2nd bandage change on Thursday 30 July 2015 the vet said she should stay overnight again so they can close the wound as it is healing very well. I agreed and left her in their care.<br> The morning of 31 July 2015 I received a call from the vet on my way to work and they informed me that Ritzy got out of her cage and they have been driving around but can't find her. Immediately I was so furiou
