Beachers rally around dog hit by car JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com It’s been a rough past few days for Lauren, the bichon/poodle, but things are looking up thanks to the generosity and kindness of the Beach community. On Friday, Sept. 5 around 6:30 p.m., Ivana Santini and her boyfriend Ellijah Bresnahan took her five-year-old dog, as well as a friend’s pup, for a
walk and playtime near the R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant at Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue. Santini, who lives near Queen Street East and Blantyre Avenue, was carrying Lauren in her arms and put her down once they reached the grassy area. Instead of running toward her best friend, Anje, a chow/ shephard/sharpei mix, Lauren ran the other way into oncom-
ing traffic and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. “For some reason, she turned around and ran the other way. Instantly she got hit. I saw it happen,” recounted Santini, who said she screamed and fell to her knees. “At that point, I thought I just watched my dog die.” Santini ran over to her dog, which had a severely injured left front paw and leg.
Several other dog owners and walkers in the vicinity heard the commotion and came to see what had happened, she said. The driver who hit the dog remained at the scene too distraught to drive. “I just want him to know I am really sorry. I know he didn’t mean to do this,” said Santini, who doesn’t know the man’s identity. >>>TOONIE, page 11
