A Calvert County, Maryland, couple says an Amazon delivery driver ran over and killed their dog, then drove away without telling them.
The Von Oehsens only realized what happened on their driveway after they couldn’t find Starr.“Then I went and looked in my truck and then came down here and I just saw her laying there,” Harry Von Oehsen said. “I just thought she fell over, but no, she was, like, laying there, barely breathing.”“I was trying to keep her alive patting her, calming her down, and then I brought her in the garage trying to get her to be OK, and then she just died,” Harry Von Oehsen said.
“Our heart goes out to our customer and their family,” Amazon said in a statement to News4. “While nothing can replace the loss of a beloved pet, we have reached out to find out how we can support them during this difficult time and are working with the delivery service partner to investigate what happened.”The Von Oehsens now have a barrier at the end of their driveway.
“Because we do have another dog and now we’re very concerned that something like this can happen to our other dog, as well,” Danielle Von Oehsen said. They set up an online fundraiser with the stated goal of raising money to advocate and file suit to get better protocols, procedures and even laws to protect children and animals on private property where packages are being delivered. They see it as a more fitting tribute to Starr than a wind chime.
