12-year-old girl killed while trying to save her dog who ran onto busy road will be buried alongside pet
Jennarae Goodbar had brought the dog with her own money and treated it like 'her baby.' She would tragically die alongside the pup while trying to save him from oncoming traffic.
A 12-year-old girl from Virginia and her dog who were hit by a car and killed will be buried together this coming weekend. Jennarae Goodbar, a resident of Lexington, Rockbridge County, was training her dog, Cash — short for Cashiemomo — when the tragic incident unfolded. WTVR reported that Jenna was training Cash at home when the dog suddenly took off running towards the road and onto Route 60. Distressed, the 12-year-old girl chased after her pet and onto the road, where she and the pup were both hit by a car. The driver, who is said to be a close family friend, allegedly was alert and did his best to swerve the vehicle away but was unable to stop in time when the pair ran across.
