Speeding+suburban Streets=lost Doggy

[vuey28]

Today is one of those days I rather not remember

My pet doggy was hit and run over by somebody

I only found out after coming home from TAFE

For those who do speed in suburban areas please dont

Others may have love ones who dont wish to loss them... either they be pets or human

Now my other dog is welping all day cause she knows her sister is no longer there with her... there been together for over 8 years now.

For anyone who did run over a dog today... hope you realise you hurt others pretty bad because of your negligence.

Please dont hit and run either

Atleast confest up to your mistake... dont run off and leave them there to die.

They didnt do anything to you why would you leave them there to die

I wish she can be with us still but unfortunately reality states she cant

So please slow down

Even if you have a fast car it doesnt mean you abuse it

Thanks for listening

RIP my doggy

My doggy got run over a couple of years ago (thankfully survived) but the guy that ran her over came over the next day and said "oh just came over to see how your dog is, so sorry bla bla bla, oh by the way, I'm sueing you for the damage done to my car".. Asshole...

[Beer Baron]

very sorry to hear about your dog. I have lost two dogs that way over the years. I have to say though it's a bit much to assume the person was speeding. i'm sure they could have hit the dog at 40kmh and possibly not even known it was a dog.

Very sad day though

[Sl!m]

Sorry to hear dude

I've lost two dogs this way.

one when I was really young. and one a few years ago.

[POOMBAH]

My condolences

I too have lost my beloved dog over someone's negligence

People who don't have pets don't seem to understand the bond that forms with a pet, you spend all that time with it, caring & nurturing your pet it soon becomes a member of the family.

I am sorry too hear about your dog, it is a sad day when a beloved pet is killed.

Assuming that the dog was killed by speeding is a broad assumption, you also need to take some responsibility as you should have your dogs contained in your yard and not roaming the streets where they can be hit.

[Tigger]

Im really sorry to hear about your dog...

Just a question to everyone who has lost a dog, how your dogs get on to the road? Did the dog always have free access to the street?

I know there are times when people accidently leave the gate open but if your dog has free reign then an accident like this will happen sooner or later

[Sl!m]

Both dogs were locked up usually.

1 time she dug out under the fence and went for an explore..

the other time he ran out when taking it for a walk and walked out onto the rd.. didnt kill him, broke his back and he had to be put down.

Thanks everyone

One of my neighbours heard a speeding car brake pretty loud and came out to see what the commotion was... they saw my dog lying there on the road while the car ran off... reason where i came up with the speeding thing... unfortunately they couldnt see the number plate at the time since the car was to far...

but the fact that they did a hit and run is not on

My dog dug a hole out of the yard

Never thought that would be possible

She never has done it before

Yeah sorry for stating the fast thing...

she could have died from a slow moving car but this time around im going to assume she didnt.

My point is slow down in suburban areas... it may be a pet dog you may kill or even a small child...

speeding is for the circuits... and keep it there

Thanks all for listening

Pets will always remain as family members no matter what people say.

RIP my doggy

We all miss you especially your sister who cant stop weeping and welping for you. We will always remember you when you were still a puppy and will continue to love you till our days are gone. Please take care of yourself my doggy for you will always be in our hearts and minds...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences

Hope it didnt bring up too much pain

[Birnie]

Sorry to hear of your loss.

I'd be crying like a baby if that happenned to my dog.

Love her to bits!

[Silver-Arrowz]

Sorry for your loss mate.

[Rj34GTT]

I feel for you. happened to me aswell but the lady wasnt speeding. i dont blame any1 for it but myself

[madbung]

Sorry about your dog mate,

I've been on the other end of this situation, but the dog didn't get killed.

Long story short after stopping and seeing the dog sore but ok, the dogs owner noticed the damage to my car then started to deny all responsibility..We ended up in court and I walked away with a judgement for the repair costs,court costs and loss of earnings for the court date. It ended up costing the guy a fair chunk of cash all because he left his gate open and let his dog roam.

When I hit the dog I didn't have much time to react but if I'd swerved to avoid the dog chances are I'd have hit either the car parked on the left or the kids playing on the r/h/s footpath.

I'll always remember the family that lived across the road from me when I was a kid, on holidays they swerved a roo and got driven over by a semi..4 dead, one daughter survived, friggin tragic. There used to be something in the learners book with reference to not swerving to avoid animals as it's dangerous and most of the time the animal gets clear anyway.

Not saying this is anything even remotely like what happened to your poor pup and I do feel for your loss..reading this just brought back some memories.

sorry to hear that this had to happen

but if it does happen someday who should we contact for the injured animal, coz if we contact 000 i doubt they would come out and i don't think anyone knows the number of the RSPCA
