I almost hit a dog about an hour ago. It was some sort of shih tzu looking dog and he just ran out in front of me on the road. This road is a busy 2 lane highway just out of Peoria, IL. I had to slam on the brakes for this little guy! I looked down toward the house and the owner way WAY down the lane. I cannot believe people! Letting a dog run without being leashed, especially on a busy road, and that far from the house (the lane looked to be about 1/4 mile)! Anyway, it really shook me up. I'm just so glad my full attention was on the road and I was able to see the dog run into the road, giving me time to slam on the brake. I made the tires squeal and I am sure left black marks...but at least the dog's ok and hopefully the owner learned a lesson! My nerves are shot, though!!!
