A Powerful Photograph Of An Neighborhood Sign Is Going Viral

A powerful photograph is circling around the internet after one family buried their dog because of a careless driver. After the tragic incident, the family put up a sign that got the whole neighborhood talking.

A picture of the sign was shared on Reddit with a headline saying, “This sign in my neighborhood.” And the sign reads: “We buried our dog last week because you won’t SLOW DOWN, If you hit 1 of my kids your family may be burying you.” Even though the neighborhood in which the sign is put up is unknown, it has certainly been a matter of controversy and discussion. Some people say that all dogs should be leashed while outside, other said that people shouldn’t be driving fast in residential areas in the first place.
One user wrote, “Am I the only one who doesn’t like people who won’t keep their dog contained in their yard and then get upset that their dog is endangered?”

And another Redditor responded saying, “A person should NEVER be going fast enough in a residential area that a dog can’t simply avoid you.”

Now there is no way of confirming if the dog’s death motivated this sign or it was created to scare speeding drivers, but the message is clear. Often, we see signs similar to this, like “children live here, slow down,” and it’s shame that people drive fast to get where they are headed because lives can be lost in that rush. Be smart and careful you could end up saving a life, whether you know it or not.
