I was driving north on Skokie Blvd this morning, on my way to work. A full-grown Doberman walked right into the street (a VERY busy four-lane road), and the pickup in front of me hit him. Being farther back, I had seen the dog and immediately hit the brakes, so I was close enough to see but not to hit when I saw the impact. The pickup slowed down. I pulled over and then turned onto a side street. The dog limped across Skokie. And when I got out of my car, the pickup was already long gone.I was sickened. I mean, the dog might be okay, or he might be bleeding internally. So I tried to follow him (on foot), thinking perhaps he'd be wearing tags on his collar and I could call the owner. At the very least, I'm sure they'd take the dog to get checked out. Of course, that might be expecting too much of any asshole stupid enough to just let their dog roam free near a busy street, but I thought maybe the dog got out by accident or was lost. I spent ten minutes trying, but the dog wouldn't let me near him. I could see that he was wearing a metal collar, but he looked unkempt, so my guess is he's been out for a while. Perhaps he got away from someone who was mistreating him. Dunno. But I couldn't get to him, and didn't want to antagonize him. I'm still thinking about the jerk in the nice shiny blue pickup, though. If you (gasp) hit a DOG by accident, wouldn't you want to have the balls to check on him, to make sure he was okay? Even if you're not man enough to take responsibility for the accident? Hey, pickup guy? Instant karma's gonna get you, and it's gonna bite you on the ankle. |

Amen. Hopefully it will be that doberman that comes back and bites him on the ankle AND the ass and his nuts to keep him from reproducing.

Ugh. Poor doggy.
You know, people hit and run more than just dogs. Sometimes it is a person and they just cant be bothered to stop. It always worries that there are people who are that selfish in the world.

You're such a sweetie, JT.

I know! I got hit by a car once and the guy gave me bogus contact info. I was too dazed to call the police and didn't want to go to the ER because I didn't have health insurance. (Little did I know that my auto insurance would have covered me.)

HOLY CRAP, I want to CUT that guy!! My neighbor hit my dog accidentally, he got out and made sure she was okay but never fessed up that he hit her. She turned out NOT to be okay but at least he tried.
That poor pooch!!!
