From the hometown of the Beckett Foundation comes a very touching story that stems from a scary incident with a relieving ending: Sinclair Larson was struck by an SUV while walking her dog across a crosswalk in Chapel Hill NC on Nov 8, 2020. As onlookers and helpers gathered around her to help care for her while an ambulance was called, Jill and Scott Reid saw a very different way to help: her dog, Jasper, who several onlookers had said was dead, was laying injured but alive a distance away.
