A deeply distressing incident has left a woman heartbroken after her beloved pet Shih Tzu reportedly died from organ failure following an alleged violent assault by a Royal Mail employee. The 11-year-old dog, Ethel, who was blind and had significant health issues, was allegedly "toe-punted" across her owner's front yard in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
