| Re: My boy got hurt :( Just be glad yousaw him fall
One of our clients had their dog in the back with the lead shut in the tool box and they made the sharp corner at the store near here (you know the one Cate and Gret) and the dog fell out. Lead slipped to the seam of the handle and stuck. Owners were oblivious and kept driving
Dog somehow got to her feet and ran/dragged along (speed limit if 30ish there) 1/2 mile to the end our road, made the corner and got another 1/4 mile before the owners noticed and stopped
There were bloody dog prints on the side of the road from shortly after she fell out to the bloody pool where she collapsed when they stopped. Those foot prints stayed for months. It was horrifying and make my stomach sick each time I saw them
She lived but what an ordeal
My best friend's dog was not so "lucky" He saw the dog falling and stopped but as the truck came to a stop it ran over the dog that was still stuck to the truck with the caught leash. He sat on the side of the road holding his dead dog that he himself killed. That image has remained with him as fresh today as it was the day it happened almost 20 years ago
Give your dog a hug and get a crate for the back of the truck if he can't ride inside
