The daughter of a retired man whose beloved dog was stolen in a violent mugging says her father is in a dark place and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Mike Jasper, 66, was walking his dog Ted, a Sprocker Spaniel, in South London in December after visiting his allotment when he was brutally attacked by two men wearing face masks.
The former police officer had adopted Ted three years earlier to help with his severe depression and anxiety, and his daughter Lucinda, 28, said that losing his much-loved companion has destroyed any progress he had made .
Appearing on This Morning today, she said that her father is absolutely devastated after the incident, and is unable to leave his home or speak to other members of his family.
