Gone Too Soon

Dedicated to "Striker"
May 12, 2006 - December 2, 2006
So that your death was not in vain


An inquisitive and active puppy, Striker died a horrific death when he LICKED THE PAPER SHREDDER causing the automatic sensor to activate the mechanism. Even if a dog survives getting his tongue chewed up in a paper shredder; they will never lead a normal life again. They may not even be able to go out for a walk, because without the use of their tongue, they cannot pant to keep themselves cool. They also will have to be on a soft food diet.

Save Your Pet From Harm and Your Family From Heartache by Following These Simple Rules:



KEEP PETS AND CHILDREN AWAY FROM SHREDDERS
UNPLUG SHREDDERS WHEN NOT IN USE
DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC OPTION

Striker at 7 weeks old on the day he was brought home



and at 7 months the weekend before he died.


From Striker's Mom (Ellen):

Losing Striker was a horrific unpredictable accident that has rocked our family. It has been my mission, this last 3 months, to make people aware of the hidden dangers."We never would have thought" is what I hear over and over. I KNOW that word of Striker's death now makes people think about safer places to keep shredders and pets apart. When I started to spread the word locally, I hoped that friends would tell others who would tell others and so on. I NEVER dreamed that we would get the overwhelming response that we have. It has been phenomenal.
