The story
Luke wasn't just a dog. He was the only family his owner had.
Luke belonged to Matt, an unhoused resident of Yorktown, New York. By every account from his neighbors, Luke was his companion and his constant — the one thing in a hard life that didn't change.
On Route 118 in Yorktown, Luke's leash broke during a scuffle with another dog. James, 61, allegedly used a firearm and shot Luke, who died from his injuries. James was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless endangerment and aggravated cruelty to animals. He has pleaded not guilty, and the case is ongoing — he is presumed innocent unless and until convicted.
"It was more than a tragedy. It was all this fella had... his dog." — a Yorktown neighbor
This coin exists with Matt's knowledge and permission.
