On February 18th my dog and a friends dog was leashed up outside the Brickhouse. We were inside having an afternoon lunch around 2PM. When a pedestrian on the street entered and approached me if I was the owner of one of the dogs outside as one of them had been injured and were bloody. Trying to care for my dog and figure out what had happened a wittness approached us. She stated that my dog had been laying down on the edge by the curb and that a truck backed up over him. The driver got out of there vehicle after noticing they had hit something, they saw they hit my dog and than drove off. If anyone else witnessed this please contact me at 250 423 5915!
The description of the vehicle is a grey/gold GMC/Chevy, extend a cab with a topper with Alberta plates. My dog is my best friend and he is going to be okay. But I am pretty horrified, the that the driver did not even care enough to see if my dog was okay or put the effort in to try to locate its owner.
Thank you very much for your time
Shannon

So brutal. Hope your dog has a speedy recovery. Some people just seem to have no heart at all. Would love to know what the hell they were thinking when they decided to drive off. Jerks.
