Dwight Howard shared the tragic news of his dog, Sunday, being killed in what he characterized as a hit-and-run incident on Instagram on Wednesday.
Howard currently resides in Suwanee, Georgia, where the tragedy happened on June 18. A devoted Belgian Malinois, who was more than just the athlete’s pet, was allegedly hit by a car that ran away from the scene on Sunday.
Howard is currently seeking justice and grieving the loss of one of his best friends as he pursues his basketball career in the BIG3 league. In an Instagram plea, Howard said:
“I need answers,”. “And I won’t stop searching until I find out what happened to my beautiful Sunday.”
In a moving ode, Howard considered Sunday’s special place in his life. Howard wrote: “You were my peace. My protector. A reminder of everything beautiful and calm, just like those early Sunday mornings,”.
“You were joy. You were warmth. You were my girl. And your life was cut short too soon.”
The extent of Howard’s sorrow demonstrates how important Sunday was to him—not just as a companion or guard dog, but also as a reassuring presence through life’s ups and downs.
The eight-time NBA All-Star has experienced a lot on the court, but he frequently turned to his pets for comfort. His behind-the-scenes and personal articles often highlighted Sunday in particular.
