My dad had went to the bank and came back inside...he told me there was a white lab running around my car acting strange.
My first instinct was to go out the door and see...but I decided to look out the window first. Just fyi this is very upsetting and disturbing, so maybe some of you shouldn't read it.
The dog was an elderly light colored lab. He was just standing there on the sidewalk by my car...head twitching, drool pouring out of his mouth. His eyes were glazed over. I knew from just one glance something was NOT right. Then he wobbly started to move and just fell right off the sidewalk onto his back. He began to spasm and twich, what looked like a seizure....that had to be the most horrible thing I've ever witnessed.
My parents called animal control. It seemed like it took forever to get here. I wanted to go up and comfort the poor old guy, but I didn't dare get near him. It was just awful. :( He eventually got up and was walking and stumbling sideways across my lawn...running into things and falling over. His head kept twitching and his mouth was frothing. He fell over into our bushes and sat there for the longest time, it looked like he was having another seizure...and he kept barking and growling like mad.
Eventually animal control arrived and they got him into a kennel. The guy said that it looked like there was a large absess on his belly. They weren't sure what was wrong with him....possible things are being hit by a car, distemper, rabies, poisoned, etc. He, of course, was filthy and no collar or tags.
Some neighbors down the street came up when they saw the cop car. They were like "yeah, we saw the dog a long time ago...it's slowly been making it's way up the street...we figured it was just hit by a car and was making it's way home." Gee, how caring, just let the dog suffer. :rolleyes:
I'm sure the dog has been put to sleep by now. I'm glad he's no longer suffering. This is what happens when people don't take care of their pets and let them run loose. :( :( :(
