sad, angry, and want to vomit

I saw a dog get killed when I was driving home from work. It tried to run in the road and I stopped in time. It stopped and then ran happily, wagging it's tail across the road, when some speeding car hit it. It was the worst "thud" I've ever heard. I did a u-turn and stopped the car to check. Yes, I was crying on the side of the road to check on the dog. I just couldn't sleep tonight if I thought it might be suffering with a broken leg and no help. Yup, he died instantly. He didn't have a collar on (I'm thankful I didn't have to make that phone call). Yes, I see death at work from time to time, buy I've never seen something go from so alive and happy to dead in a split second. I'm so disturbed by this.

  • I so sorry you had to witness this.  Crying  Hopefully, the dog died fast and didn't suffer.  This makes me so sad.
  • how awful :(

  • That sounds awful, I would have been crying on the side of the road too. It was very brave & kind of you to go check on the dog to be sure he wasn't suffering. ((hugs))
  • That does sound awful!  I too, would be crying hysterically.  I'm sorry you had to see that, but try to be comforted in the fact that he did die quickly and probably without much pain.  You are a great person for stopping to check on him.  I know how traumatic it can be with dead animals. 
  • i am so sorry that is terrible. :(
  • That's terrible. I would have been sobbing too.
  • That's so terrible.  I wouldn't have been able to handle it :(

  • That is terribly sad!  Did the other car stop?  I can't imagine having to see that!  Thanks for stopping and checking on the poor puppy.

  • The other car didn't stop, which is why I was so angry.

  • Aw thats terrible!!

    I cried at having to leave puppies at the pound and petpad (We were just visiting, not dropping off). I would have balled if I were in your situation.  Animals have a really really soft spot in my heart.

     I'm sure he's up in doggie heaven (because yes, all dogs go to heaven) :o)

     

    Best wishes! 

     

    -this is spiteful and wrong of me, but I hope that other car is a HUGEE dent in it!

  • Oh geez.  I'm sorry.  I really hate seeing an innocent animal hurt.  I hit a frog the other morning and felt bad about that!

    I can't believe the asshat didn't stop.  Loser.
