Car kills beloved pet dog, Jazz

Car kills beloved pet dog, Jazz

A seven-month-old dog was killed after she and her owner were run over in front of their Beaconsfield home.

Henry Macdonagh was on his way home from his morning walk early on Saturday with Jazz, his Maltese shih tzu, when he made eye contact with a driver playing loud music who then followed them down Jean Street.

“The driver then drove up on to my front lawn and hit me and Jazz,” Mr Macdonagh said.

“I only saw him at last minute and I jumped onto the bonnet, before I rolled off.

“He was coming for me, it was deliberate.”

Mr Macdonagh received bruising to his right arm and back.

Jazz was covered in blood and couldn’t breathe.

Mr Macdonagh and his wife rushed her to a local vet.

The dog spent eight hours on a ventilator, before she died.

The couple have been left with a $5000 dollar vet bill.

“Me and my wife are devastated,” Mr Macdonagh said.

“We don’t have children.

“She was like a child to us.”

Mr Macdonagh said the car, possibly a 1990 Mitsubishi Lancer, was driven by a man with a beard.

“The car looked like 1990 Mitsubishi Lancer,” he said.

The driver hasn’t been caught.
