These stories are so sad. I have been so fortunate that I have never lost a dog from an accident. Being a breeder I have got so many calls over the years from devastated pet owners that have lost dogs due to tragic accidents. I think the top of the list is dogs that somehow get out of the house and get hit by a car. I can easily see how that can happen because we have a big screened in porch at the front of our house so we have to actually go through two doors to get outside. Thank goodness for this because over the years there have been a couple of occasions when we would realize one of the dogs was on the porch and we did not know it. Sometimes they can sneak out so easily when we are coming in the door.
I think second on the list would be dogs killed by other dogs. Sometimes it is intentional and sometimes by accident. |
