Police in West Homestead are looking for the driver of a car that struck a dog near Sarah Street and West 10th Avenue, then took off after a brief stop. The dog was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic but did not survive, turning a quiet neighborhood corner into the focus of a hit-and-run investigation.
According to WTAE, the West Homestead Police Department said in a Monday post that a silver Toyota hit the dog. Sabel Kennel transported the animal to a veterinary emergency room, where it later died. Police described the driver as a man who stopped briefly after the collision before leaving the scene, and they are asking anyone with footage or information to contact the department.
