After dog is hit and killed by car, family’s brutal sign has the whole neighborhood talking

If anyone you know springs to mind, perhaps it’s time to show them a sign that went viral online after one poor family lost their dog to a speeding driver.
As per reports, the family in question erected the sign on their front lawn in the hopes that other drivers might heed their clear warning.
Some might think the message a little forceful, but I for one can sympathize with the family’s plight.
”We buried our dog last week because you won’t slow down,” the sign read. “If you hit 1 of my kids your family may be burying you.”
An image of the sign was uploaded to Reddit and later Facebook, where it proved immensely popular.
One Facebook user wrote: ”Love the sign. People drive way too fast in neighborhoods. More than 20 is to fast. Kids on bikes. Kids playing in their own yard and a ball goes in the street, it happens. So why is there this problem. Well it’s because people are f**king idiots. Plain and simple.”
Meanwhile, a Reddit user said: ”I never understand why people speed through neighborhoods…or parking lots. Seriously…what’s the logic in that?”
”Damn straight! One of my dogs got away from me and the woman who ran over him didn’t even slow down. Just ran over him. Same could happen to a child,” a third added on Facebook.
That said, the sign was also criticized by some. Certain users were of the opinion that the family in question shouldn’t let their dogs roam free and potentially end up in harm’s way.
