Vehicle Slams Into, Kills Family Pet on Canyon Boulevard

Written by Amy Carlson

The neighbor's dog was killed tonight by one of the many speeding drivers on Canyon Boulevard.

Just north of Foothill at the bottom of the long straightaway hill that makes Canyon into a racetrack, the dog met a car that couldn't stop in time.

The family of the dog also have a beautiful toddler. He is an adorable little boy with a sweet smile.

We are all sad and stunned that the friendly dog, the little boy's best friend, is gone now.

But when my family heard the accident tonight, the whiz of another speeding car racing along Canyon Blvd followed by a shocking loud bang, there was a horrible moment of stunned silence filled with dread.

What if? Then all the neighbors were out on the lawn. To make sure. That it wasn't a child. Slow down Monrovia. I know it can wait.
