I received a frantic call by my oldest daughter around 11:30 am yesterday. I was hesitant to post this but can not get it off my mind. Her dog of nine years had just been hit by a car in front of her mothers home on East Mitchell street in Point Washington. She was hysterical and alone. The driver never stopped. I know for sure her dog was a pest and would chase cars. I know he probably drove many people crazy on that road when he visited from college. I also know he only chased cars that were driving too fast. He never paid much attention to the cars that were slowly driving down the street. I am not posting this to come after this driver. I am not giving the description of the car. I know which car it was and I know where they live. That is not going to bring the dog back. If the driver does come on SoWal I ask if you read this, slow down. If you hit a kids dog you could at least stop and try to help out. She was left standing there alone with her dead dog of nine years. This was her little baby. I would like to truly believe you did not know you hit the dog. My daughter is pretty confident you know. They say that a persons true character is determined by what they do when they think no one is watching. There was someone watching my friend. My daughter and Murray. May he rest in peace.

Oh Bobby, so sorry to hear this. I had this happen to me when I was five...my mother was with me, but the driver never stopped. I can still see that car speeding away and my beautiful dog lying dead in the road. It is one of the most horrible things I've ever experienced. My heart goes out to your daughter.

The sad part is the last time this happened to my daughter she was 5. How ironic. She is now 22. When I arrived she was digging a hole with her grandfather and her poor dog was covered up with a towel. It was a very sad day.

You are a better man than I for not confronting the driver. Any decent person would stop no matter the circumstance. I do imagine that is was accidental and some dogs are born to chase... Still, they could have shown some heart and backbone too.

BobbyJ, I'm so sorry this happened to your daughter. I know what you mean about not being able to get it out of your mind. I'll be thinking of you all.
