My MIL's friend, Pam, sent her the following email this morning. I figured the more prayers the better. This is one of my worst nightmares realized.

URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED!!

Ok, here's the story.
I went running this morning before work (around 5 am). Our German Shephard (Azurey) is full of energy and loves to come running with me.

So I got fully set up....reflective vest, ect. And off we went. There is about a 1/2 mile stretch of our run in which there is no sidewalk, and is very open farmland. We were running there around 5:30 and a car sped past and slammed into Azurey, just missing me by inches, sending us flying into a ditch. I immediately stood up and started waving my arms. The car noticed it hit somebody, slowed down to a stop, then drove a way.

SOMEBODY called the police. I don't know who. I ran to the closest house to call Scott to get us. Azrey was unable to walk and was very hurt.

We took her to the Animal Emergency Hospital and she is currently undergoing testing. Bones in her pelvis area are broken, and she is bleeding (the blood coming from internal issues). Things don't look good for her.

I am SO nervous and am just pacing the house and shaking, not sure what to do. I feel so horrible that this happened. She was on a short leash, I was VERY refelctive, and we were running on the shoulder of the road (actually in the grass!).

That horrible person not only wasn't watching AT ALL, but knew it and chose to leave us for dead. I am losing my faith in people today! I just can't believe it happened.

Please pray for us. I know she's "only a dog", but any animal lovers out there know how hard it is to have anything happen to "only a dog".

As I was writing this, I got a call from the hospital. She's stable currently, but has at least 4 fractures in her hip joint, and is still bleeding from somewhere. The doctor said that this is "concerning."

I'll keep you posted.
