Community members are rallying to help after a dog named BoBo and his unhoused owner, PJ, after the two were allegedly struck by a motorist in Lynnwood Aug. 26. BoBo was taken to an emergency veterinarian, where it was confirmed that the dog sustained a broken pelvis, and PJ received stitches for his injuries.
Lynnwood police have charged the motorist, a 37-year-old Lynnwood man, with animal cruelty and driving with a suspended license, Lynnwood police spokesperson Maren McKay said.
Supporters have arranged a GoFundMe with the goal of raising $10,000 to pay for BoBo’s veterinary bills. His owner is also seeking a foster home for BoBo while the dog is recovering.
What the hell is unhoused owner?? Another made up news phrase?
Unhoused is now a commonly used description for someone who is homeless. We use both but they mean the same thing.
Why is the motorist not being charged with attempted homicide if the vehicular attack was intentional?
