It is approaching almost one year since I lost my precious Kloey, a 6-pound Yorkie who I adored. Not only was she a very loved pet, she was a family member!
She was hit by a car on Harrison Street. It was a tragic accident that should not have happened.
These types of accidents can be prevented.
I was driving to work today and was going down Fort Wayne Street when a small dog ran right out in front of me! Luckily, I was not driving fast and was able to slow down so this pet could cross the street. To the owner of this pet, you're very fortunate that it was me who was driving and not someone that was on a cell phone, or messing with their radio, or someone who was in such a hurry to get somewhere that they were not paying attention and could have hit this innocent dog.
Other people will not be so lucky this summer. Someone, somewhere will lose their pet and family member to an accident that could be prevented.
All it takes is to make sure your pet is leashed! Make sure your fence gate is locked! It is your responsibility to take care of your pet. You have vowed to take care of your pet's safety when you brought him/her home. Your pet is counting on you!
Accidents do happen, but they can be prevented! Please, I beg you to keep your pet on a leash when outside!
