[Cagdu] FW: puppy truck involved in an accident

Subject: puppy truck involved in an accident

I received the following from a dog guide Email list, and thought I would
pass it on:

Here is the email most if not all puppy raisers recieved from GDB regarding
the puppy truck accident:
As some of you may already know, last Friday afternoon one of our puppy
trucks was involved in a serious automobile accident. This accident was the
fault of another driver who lost control of his vehicle and hit the puppy
truck. Denny Epperson, who was driving at the time, did an excellent job in
keeping the puppy truck upright and minimizing the accident as much as
possible. Sadly, one of the five adult dogs traveling was killed during the
accident. She was a retired guide who was returning to her puppy raisers for
adoption. The four other adult dogs, including Denny's active puppy that he
is currently raising, and the 18 puppies aboard were not seriously injured.
The driver's side of the truck took the direct impact, and Denny was taken
to UC Davis for treatment. His injuries are serious, but not considered
life-threatening. He is scheduled for surgery today, to mend his pelvis and
leg. The doctors expect a full recovery.
Lee Shenk was the passenger and was not seriously injured. Lee remained calm
and took care of the dogs until they were transported by staff back to
campus Friday evening.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of the retired guide. And we are deeply
grateful to Denny and Lee, who performed amazingly well in a frightening and
emotional situation, and who are continuing to conduct themselves with
strength and courage. We have spent the weekend ensuring that all of our
constituents who had an adult dog on the truck were informed, and that
Denny's family had the opportunity to travel to his location.
We also want to acknowledge all of the staff from many different departments
who worked together on Friday and made sure that all of the necessary phone
calls were made, the dogs and Lee were transported back to campus and taken
care of and who supported them and each other.
Please send any cards or correspondence to:
