I saw a dog run over and am so upset!!!

**momoffuzzyfaces** · 01-05-2009, 06:36 PM

I was outside my house a few hours ago and saw a car run over and kill a dog. Poor dog never had a chance. I have no idea whose dog it was. There were two of them chasing each other.

I know they had no business in the street but the driver never even slowed down. He didn't even look in his mirror. He did look at me while I was screaming at him: "you hit that dog! You Jerk!!!" Did he stop? NO!

I was pretty sure the dog was dead specially since another car hit it after that. With no car, I couldn't get it to the vet even if I could have gotten to it. My arthritis is so bad right now, I can hardly walk.

The only thing I could do was call the police. They sent the animal control officer over to take care of the poor thing.

That car did not need to hit the dog. There were two cars ahead of it that slowed down and missed it. It looked like he went right for it. I hope maybe he was trying to avoid it but it didn't look like it.

I came in and threw up after I called the police. Now I can't stop shaking. Poor poor dog.

One good thing, I know it's not my neighbor boy's dog. He was walking his between out houses and his was on a leash. Luckily, he didn't see that other dog get killed.

Sorry for ranting. It just haunts me.

I am so sorry this happened & very sorry that you had to witness it.

(((Hugs)))

I agree,
In fact just thinking of you I am starting to get upset.
How uncaring and cruel of the driver if done on purpose and not to stop.
My heart goes out to you for having to see it.

I am sorry you had to witness this and sorry for the poor dog. Hopefully one of the other drivers will come forward with the idiot's license plate number or something.

Know, dear one, that there is nothing you could have done to prevent it. Maybe write a letter to the local paper or call them, to guilt the driver into confessing.

Sending you hugs, and a shoulder to cry on.

I am also very sorry this happened and you had to see it. Few things could upset me more than that. Especially when someone doesn't even try to stop, no matter what. I am a big fan of karma.

Sure you're upset; I would be, too. I'm sorry that it happened and that you had to see it. The only words of comfort that I can offer are that the dog is now free.

Oh how sad! Poor dog! Poor you!!!

I really like Karen's idea of writing the paper. Even if they don't step forward, maybe they'll hesitate before they mow down someone else's animal. An accident is one thing but to intentionally do it is just absolutely CRUEL.

{{hugs, hugs, & more hugs}}

Thanks everyone. It means a lot to me that you care.

I just keep thinking, "what if that had been a child?"

The animal control officer came and took the poor thing away. He's running and playing at the Bridge now. I'm hoping he has a little human friend who needs a pal too, to play with.
