In the middle of a Satellite Beach neighborhood, a woman says she was hit by a driver while walking her two dogs.
One of the dogs was killed, the woman was injured, and the driver didn’t stop.
What we know:
According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), it happened near the intersection of Egret Dr. and NE 2nd St. around 6:30 a.m. on December 5.
Annie Woodward was walking her two dogs along Egret Drive when the front of the SUV hit them.
The 57-year-old woman says she rescued her two dogs years ago. Bear is the bigger one and the little dog Woodward says she called Bubs or Pal.
What they’re saying:
Woodward says Bubs was badly injured when the SUV hit them. She tried driving him to the Emergency VET, but Bubs died on the way.
“He was a great little dog, he really was, I mean, he really was. He was a reject. He was the throwaway. No one wanted him, but he turned out to be such a lovely light,” said Woodward. “It sucks that somebody did that with no regard whatsoever. Trust me, I seem like I’m jovial, I’m not. It’s disgusting to me.”
Woodward says she believes the SUV that hit them was maroon and that the driver took off afterward.
“I don’t know how they could be unaware,” said Woodward. “If they were aware they didn’t care.”
