Fiona Longworth, 47, says her Spanish rescue Sol was taken outside to do the toilet near their home in Dunbar, East Lothian, when a firework fizzed past them.
A heartbroken dog owner is pleading for a ban on the sale of fireworks after her beloved pet was knocked down and killed after one flew over his head on a short walk.
Speaking to the Record, Fiona said: "We are just absolutely destroyed. I can't eat, I can't sleep - we were just so fond of him. He was just an amazing, confident, happy dog. Loud noises didn't really bother him so much, but this just completely freaked him out. Fiona has now called for more restrictions to be implemented so that owners of all animals can better prepare for fireworks.
"It's just ridiculous now. They are going off all the time. No one knows where they are being set up. They're not controlled - it's dangerous. People say you just shouldn't take your dogs out, but it's not as simple as that. “The Scottish Government has introduced regulations to implement firework control zones across Scotland and we welcome this. The restrictions are much needed to prevent unnecessary suffering among animals. Our thoughts go out to those who have been affected by fireworks and we want to do all we can to highlight these incidents to make sure animals and their owners are protected."
Drone footage showed people aiming fireworks and petrol bombs at riot police. Officers say around 50 of them were responsible for directing fireworks, petrol bombs and other projectiles at buildings, vehicles and police.
