The outrage over a dog being hit by a Junghanns water delivery truck in Puebla keeps growing, especially after the company issued a public statement on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, that expressed regret but didn’t clarify if the driver involved faced any consequences.

The incident went viral when animal rights groups shared a video showing the delivery vehicle running over a dog and driving off without stopping. What sparked widespread anger wasn’t just the dog’s death, but the driver’s apparent indifference after the accident.

In its statement, Junghanns said it had launched an internal review and was taking necessary steps to follow up on the case. The company also reaffirmed its commitment to responsibility, transparency, and respect for animals.

Yet, the message raised more questions than answers.

Nowhere in the statement did Junghanns confirm whether the driver was identified, suspended, investigated, or fired. There was no mention of any sanctions or new protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.

This silence has drawn sharp criticism from activists and social media users, who see the company’s carefully worded response as a way to manage its image without accepting real accountability.

“‘We are reviewing the case’ is not enough,” many say, especially when there’s clear video evidence and a public demand for concrete action.

The situation is particularly sensitive given Junghanns’ public image as a socially responsible company that values community and environmental care—principles now questioned by those demanding stronger responses.

This case also unfolds amid rising awareness about animal welfare in Puebla. In May 2026 alone, at least 11 animal abuse cases were reported, highlighting the growing public concern around this issue.

So far, neither Junghanns nor its leadership have confirmed if the driver remains employed.

Beyond condolences and official statements, the key question remains: if the company acknowledges the seriousness of what happened, what exactly happened to the person responsible?

While Junghanns stays silent on this, public perception is settling: the company mourned the dog’s death but avoided saying whether the driver will face any real consequences. The civil association Patitas Enlodadas, which shared the video, said it had met with the company and “trusted” that actions would be taken.
