 We could make a difference!
I just wrote my letter to the Editor for my local newspaper. If we all would write one, it could save someones pet.
here is what I wrote:
Unleashed Animals
It is approaching almost 1 year since I lost my precious Kloey, a 6 lb 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 St. 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 St. 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, your very fortunate that it was me who was driving and not someone that was on a cell phone, or messing with there 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 there pet and family member to a 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 pets 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!
