On Saturday, June 30, we had a very sad incident when my daughter’s little dog, Lucy, was hit by a car on the Drayton Road, and was killed.
She had escaped from someone’s garden – my daughter was visiting them – and when she realised Lucy had gone, she went looking for her but it was too late.
We were by told a lady who saw it happen that it was a black Volvo travelling towards Abingdon, between 3.30pm and 4pm. They didn’t stop.
I cannot believe that anyone could be so heartless!
The lady very kindly picked the dog up and wrapped her in a blanket and waited with my daughter while she phoned for help.
I can understand the driver probably couldn’t avoid hitting Lucy, but, at the end of the day, they should have stopped.
As you can imagine, we are all devastated.
