Dog given away after damaging owner’s £80,000 luxury car
Forty two year-old Royston Grimstead of Somerset, the United Kingdom, was unhappy when he came home and saw his luxury £80,000 Aston Martin partly destroyed by his dog.
And he has given the ‘border Collie Spaniel cross’ away to a new owner who’s unaware of the dog’s recent prank.
The Aston Martin is, however, unused, and Grimstead fears that once the new owner of the dog knows of its past, he may return it.
