Simon was not just “man’s best friend” to David Furukawa, he was the visually-impaired man’s guide dog. While they were walking his four-year-old son Will to school, a car ran a stop sign and struck the 80-lb. boxer, breaking his leg and causing internal injuries as he pushed young Will forward. Furukawa was also hit and rolled on to the car, left sprawled on the street with a broken elbow, knee, and heel.

Then, as witnesses rushed the boy back to his home, the dog limped after them, only collapsing after they arrived. While family members were transporting Simon to the animal hospital, he died.
