Owner says dog seriously injured in Markham, Ont. hit and run

A dog owner is calling on drivers to be more compassionate after he says his young husky was struck by a vehicle over the weekend in Markham and the driver didn't stop to help.
Dog owner David Ying says he witnessed his dog being struck by a vehicle over the weekend along a busy stretch in Markham, Ont.
The Toronto man says they were in the area of 16 Avenue and Ninth Line at around 6 p.m. when his one and a half year-old Husky, Honu, took off.
“I got out of the car as usual. Usually I’ll open the back door and he’ll wait for me to put on the leash to come out,” he told Global News.
This time was different. Honu left the vehicle and ran toward 16 Avenue. By the time Ying was able to catch up with him, he says the dog managed to cross to the other side of the road.
At first, he says he felt immense relief, but when Honu attempted to come back, Ying says his canine was hit by a white SUV.
His dog is currently receiving medical treatment at an emergency and specialty hospital in Toronto. Honu developed a pneumothorax, meaning his lungs started leaking air into his chest, making it harder to breathe.
Dawn Crandell of Toronto Animal Health Partners, which is providing him with the care he needs, says his pelvis was dislocated from the vertebrae of his spine and his patella was shattered. She adds that he also suffered a dislocated hip.
“If you have a blanket or something that you could sort of jiggle them onto, and then use the blanket as a bit of a stretcher with somebody to help you get them in the car, that would be a good idea,” she recommends.
