PLEA FOR MORE CONSIDERATION.

(To the Editor.)

It is obvious that some of the en « gentlemen driving cars about Auckland"' v 8(1 never owned a dog. This fact wis i 5 Ve " home to me late yesterday aftern^o^f 4 a small dog was run over at the intprc en of Manukau Road and Dom-ttA*** Epsom. The car was travelling at a fasS' and the driver apparently made no effort 6 avoid the animal, which is not one of L which chase or bark at motorists. ThS right across the street, the dog was Sr injured, and when picked up was Lft in the back and hind quarters and w ed profusely from the / mouth If L neither saw the dog nor felt the impact Tf animal's shrieks of pain must have tni A- e that he had hit something. And if he £ know that a dog was the victim it migh v? been a child that he had hit. But the JT® did not stop and the owner of the rW I to carry the screaming animal s„« able distance to her home. I am full* » that Cogs that rush fr„ m tto baik at cais are a great annoyance to ists and that often the dog hi Zy iSl' a.B.
