Lawson Should Be Kept Driving Essay

Improved Essays
Lawson is a dog who was tragically hit by a car. In typical fashion, the car did not stop after it hit Lawson and it kept driving. I guess there is a chance the driver did not realize he had hit Lawson, but from somebody who has hit a few other cars on the road with slight nicks and given the opportunity to say I didn't feel them, I can honestly tell you that you always feel them. When I bounced off that car and kept driving, I felt it!

Me bouncing off of other people's cars and driving off due to a lack of funds is a little bit different than people hitting large dogs and leaving them in the street. I'd like to think that I would definitely take that dog to help. What's the worst that could happen anyway? It's not like the dog could tell them I was speeding!

So, for whatever reason -- perhaps laziness or a lack of care -- Lawson's perpetrator has kept driving, leaving Lawson for dead.

Lawson's spine will never be the same according to the doctors, but that hasn't stopped them from being able to help out Lawson a great deal. He can even be seen here sporting a smile. Lawson now has his own set of wheels to burn around in and all the pressure is taken off his back legs and spine. He can now get around using his front two legs and his set of wheels.

The next video shows Lawson taking his first steps as a recovered animal from injury. Lawson was hit in the surrounding towns of Istanbul, Turkey. from what we can gather, Lawson never made it back to his family. Hopefully one day they know that Lawson is OK and is being taken good care of and hopefully this post going viral can help spread the word to the original owners.

    Everyone has an opinion on whether or not there should be trust placed in youths. Would the trust be extended to something that everyone does everyday? As children transition into adulthood, they learn how to drive and start commuting themselves to their errands. In America, the legal driving age is 16, but some people believe that the age should be raised.

    Imagine driving along an empty road at night when, all of a sudden, your car has a head-on collision with a Hummer with the force of a thousand raging bulls. The Hummer is not a car but rather a symbol for something infinitely more horrendous. The Hummer represents all of the effects of changing the driving law of 18 to 16, and right now we are the only ones who can stop this terrifying monster from entering our legal system. The first reason this law should be put off the road is because children are responsible at 16 and all other notions are ludicrous. Secondly, it is paramount that we instill these children with the responsibility of handling a car so that they may learn to handle life's problems and maybe ours.…
