A tragic event led to this story: On May 10, Mia, a 13 year old girl from Cranbury, New Jersey was walking her dog and was hit by a car, and the driver callously and illegally fled the scene. The girl was seriously injured and her dog was killed instantly. According to The Woodbridge Patch, witnesses said that the pup, named Panda, absorbed most of the impact from the car, and likely saved Mia’s life.
But on July 3rd, members of the Cranbury Fraternal Order of Police presented Mia and her family with a puppy, much to their joy! You can see it here in the Patch.
I hope the dog was adopted from a local shelter. Virtually everywhere in New Jersey, shelter animals are the most at risk on account of overcrowded conditions, and are deserving of loving, forever homes.
ADOPT, don’t shop! And spay and neuter your houshold pets! It’s the only was we’re going to end the endless slaughter of innocent animals.
