"He was out with his lovely dog walker and as he dropped off one of Milo's friends, someone stole his van with my baby and some of his friends in the back... We got the call at this point and I instantly just broke down, sobbing crying and fearing the worst... I've literally never felt fear like it."
Vicky, 34, explained that luckily, the van was found abandoned with the dogs still inside, but admitted that she felt 'helpless and devastated' while waiting for news.
"Long story short guys, the van was found abandoned by the police on some estate with the fur babies still in the back thank god. But honestly, that period of not knowing and worrying was just horrific – I felt so helpless and devastated," she continued.
"Luckily this ended happily this time but things could have been very different. Milo is a resilient and brave boy and seems fine after his traumatic afternoon but I just can't spend time thinking about the alternative.

"I don't understand what type of person steals another person's property, and worse still, when they realise that there are living, breathing animals in the back – abandons them in a hot van in the middle of nowhere not caring what happens to them.
"I'd call them animals but they don't deserve it – they are utter scumbags. Should be ashamed of themselves. You make me sick."
Vicky explained Milo is now back safe and sound with her and fiancé Ercan, and being spoilt rotten.
