Grieving loss of pet



Editor, Daily Press:

I would like to address this letter to the individual who was driving on the Waverly Road where it intersects both the Jones Road and 490 Road out by the Reasor’s Horse Ranch.

I just want you to know the golden German shepherd you hit and killed the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 29, was my dog, Knute. He was a very gentle and caring animal that never bit or snapped at anyone. He was a loyal and caring partner in my life and had been since the day he was born. He was 7 years old when you killed him. I hope that wherever you were headed or whatever you were delivering or whomever you were texting at such a high rate of speed was worth the life of my dog.

My question for you is this: Are you aware of the little boy and his little puppy that live on the opposite side of the road where you killed my dog? Do you think you might be able to slow down or put the cell phone down long enough to watch the road?

I grieve for the loss of Knute, but I’ll get over it and move on, even though I loved him more than most of the people I call friends and family. He had lived a very good life and was doing what he loved best when you hit him.

Do you think the family of the little boy will be able to get over it and move on if you hit their child and killed him? Will you stop and talk to them, instead of driving off and leaving him in the ditch to die like you did Knute?

Slow down, watch the road, and put the cell phone down. Someone’s life is at stake when you don’t.

Troy Sanford
