Dear Editor,
Our dog was killed on River Road yesterday [Oct. 25]. The driver of the truck that hit him turned his vehicle around, and left the scene.
I have written multiple emails to the city since we moved here.
We contend with people failing to stop at the stop sign, driving too fast, and passing people who are stopped at the stop sign. I’ve been quite upset.
But Friday we lost a precious pet to that road. We are sad, mad, and hurt.
But what I saw, as my dog lay dying, was a city full of people who care.
There were three women in particular and several fellows, too, I understand.
But the women covered the scene, they took care of me and my husband, they tried to get help, they told people what to do to help our precious boy.
I don’t know their names, but I love them all.
My husband and I want to thank everyone who stopped to help, or lend a hand, a blanket, and a hug.
Tucker was the best dog, and he deserved that kind of care. Thank you.
Belinda and Paul Green, Maple Ridge
