Weekly Watch Tip for week of Aug. 1:

Watch out for pets on driveways. Driveways are extremely high risk for dogs and cats who are excited to greet homecoming or visiting vehicles. They do not understand that tires will turn sharply. Speed is not the issue—even creeping vehicles run over pets. Older companion animals snoozing on warm driveways will not hear garage doors open or vehicles approach. Injuries are severe and often result in death. Please spread the word.
