New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
“Someone hit my dog around 5:30 pm on December 7 on Faunce Corner Road between the corner of the old Jehovah’s Witness Church and Slocum Road in Dartmouth.
I know this is New Bedford Guide but we live in between Dartmouth and New Bedford. Whoever did it, I just want to know why [you] didn’t stop. I know accidents happen but my baby ‘Kuro’ deserved more than being left hit on the side of the road left to die.
She was more than family. She helped me through post-partum depression and grew up with my daughters. We called her “Shadow,” [because] wherever we went, she went. She NEVER left anyone’s side…until that fateful night when I took her out to go to the bathroom (Sorry, I don’t speak English good, only Portuguese) and she didn’t respond to me calling her name.
I saw a headlight and ran to the road [where I saw that she]got hit and the person never stopped. She died at 10:30am [the following morning.]
My baby ‘Kuro!’ The one that would even love and forgive the person that hit her. Her birthday was coming on January 1st. On Sunday I held her like a baby because that’s exactly how she was. Please! Whoever it was: find it in your heart to reach out.
She can’t just die left how she was, she never deserved that. Accidents happen but she deserves more than how she was left.
Surveillance video caught the car and license plate. I’m giving this opportunity to own up before I go to the cops. After all it is ILLEGAL to hit a dog and not stop. I will by all means press charges if the person does not message me.
God is always on my side!! ?????? R.I.P. ‘Kuro ?'”-Michelle Kristine.
