Hyacinth RN and her husband, the team behind Finn Excavating, are asking the community for help after their dog was recently struck in a hit-and-run in Belleville. They are urging anyone who may have seen the incident or captured it on home or dash cameras to come forward.
The couple shared a statement:
"Looking for a car that just hit my dog on Paul Street. It drove over him about 10 feet and just kept driving. This happened around 9:40 PM. If anyone has any information, please contact me at 343-261-6862."
While dog owners are legally responsible for incidents involving their pets in Ontario, drivers are also obligated to remain at the scene and report to police, as well as their insurance if damage or injuries are expected to exceed $2,000.
As they did not slow down or stop it is possible the dog was intentionally hit and if proven would make them liable for any medical bills arising from the incident.
The couple hopes that community vigilance can help identify the driver and ensure their dog receives care. Even small pieces of information can make a big difference in helping their beloved pet recover and preventing similar incidents in the future.
It is heartbreaking when a furry family member is hurt, or lost 💔
Please share and help this family get the closure that they need
