  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:
