Prayers Go Out to Dwight Howard After He Shares Heartbreaking News: ‘Who Could Be So Heartless?'
Former NBA All-Star Dwight Howard is mourning the loss of his beloved pet pup, Sunday, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident. The tragic event took place on June 18th in the city of Suwanee, Georgia. 'I'm devastated because you were the dog that never left my side, the dog that stuck to my hip at all times, and the one time you wander off without me being there, someone takes you away from me,' Howard wrote on Instagram. 'Who could be so heartless to do this to such an innocent girl with no remorse?' Howard, an eight-time All-Star and NBA champion, posted several pictures and videos of his best friend faithfully by his side. Dwight Howard shared his grief in an emotional post, describing Sunday as his 'peace' and 'protector' who was always by his side. More than that, however, he asked fans for help in finding who might have hit his dog and then fled the scene without notifying anybody. Or, perhaps getting her to an emergency vet. 'Please, if anyone has any information regarding a Belgian Malinois that was hit by a car on June 18th, 2025, in Suwanee, Georgia, please let me know,' he pleaded. Fans were justifiably dismayed at the news of Howard's loss. 'I'm so sorry,' one person replied. 'What a heartless action to hit a poor dog and not immediately get it to an emergency vet.' 'Dogs are family, like a brother or child to some. Praying for strength in these hard times,' another consoled. 'Just remember, all dogs go to heaven.' Indeed, they do. RELATED: Dwight Howard had a memorable championship run with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. As a backup center to Anthony Davis and JaVale McGee, Howard embraced a reduced role, averaging 7.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game in 18.9 minutes off the bench during the regular season. His physical presence and defensive tenacity proved valuable in the playoffs, particularly in the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets, where he helped contain Nikola Jokić. In the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat that season, Howard's energy and rebounding supported the Lakers' dominant frontcourt, contributing to their 4-2 series win and the franchise's 17th championship. Howard would later claim that LeBron James had him kicked off the team for daring to call him out for being lazy during a practice. After he left, the Lakers finished with a 42-30 record, 12 fewer victories than the previous season, and were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round.
