Motorist runs
down and kills
a pet dog
George A. Steagall doesn't'
upset easily, but he had tears
in his eyes when he reported to
the Gazette-Times that his
two-year-old pet dog was
deliberately run over and
killed Tuesday by a motorist
near the Steagall home on the
Heppner-Pilot Rock Highway
near the fairgrounds.
Someone traveling at high
speed steered his car into the
barpit in order to hit the dog,
which was left to die. A
passing motorist notified
Steagall of the incident. He
had witnessed the car leave
the highway to hit the dog, but
was unable to get the descrip
tion of the car or its license
number.
"It's bad enough to lose the
dog," Steagal said, "but for
anyone to go out of his way to
kill it, then fail to stop and
report it, is a clear case of hit
and run. I'd like to get my
hands on that driver."
