The Family is searching for answers after a Postal Driver ran over their Dog.

Yogi, the family pet from South Carolina was recently captured on a Ring camera being hit by a U.S. Postal Service driver. Despite being familiar with the Gouge family's dogs the driver failed to reduce speed, leaving Yogi with a hip, femur and lower spine injury, along with internal damage. The BluePearl Pet Hospital in Summerville has suggested that amputation of his limb may be necessary, or even euthanasia due to the severity of his condition. Paula Gouge, Yogi's owner, stated: "Officer Suzi Reeves from the Colleton County Animal Services has been in touch with our family and has assured us that we have done nothing wrong. There is no requirement for us to keep him on a leash." Reeves has identified the motorist for the incident and will be issuing two citations for improper animal care, which goes against the Colleton County Code of Ordinances. The motorist claims to have been unaware of hitting the dog. Matthew Breen, the managing partner of Lowcountry Law, LLC has stated that the family has the option to sue the driver for negligence. Breen encourages pet owners to take measures to ensure the safety of their companions and the option to seek compensation from the responsible party. The Southern Area Corporate Communications department of the United States Postal Service has said that they are currently reviewing the video footage and gathering details regarding the incident. The Walterboro Postal Service has chosen not to provide a comment at this time due to an investigation.
