He ran away from me... into the busy road. He didn't get hit but I was hysterical. I followed him with my hazzard lights on and everytime I saw an opportunity I stopped the car and tried to get him. Everytime I did, he ran,,, into the busy 5 lane highway. My daughter was in tears because she thought I was going to get hit trying to catch him. I turned my car around so many times, I stopped traffic so he wouldn't get hit but I COULDN'T CATCH HIM. I know he's so far away from home now because I followed him quite a ways. He has no collar and he is clean and well groomed, he's someone's baby and I couldn't catch him. As a matter of fact, I almost got him killed by calling out to him and him running from me out into the street. Eventually I had to leave him. Traffic was getting heavier and he was running from me faster and faster. I didn't want to make him run onto the highway...
I'm so upset. My babies found their way onto this same highway- and several people said they tried to catch them but they ran... and were killed. OMG... I just have to pray that someone was able to get him before he met the same fate as my precious Crystal and Spike.
God bless that baby. |
How traumatic for you. I am so sorry for your babies. I have been in the same predicament...trying to catch them then having to give up the chase because it was worse that I tried (in and out of traffic, at least I got the dog away from the major highway). You did your best.
