I certainly understand how awful your friend must feel. However, the owner of the dog are also responsible for what happened. Accidents happen but a responsible dog owner is supposed to have their dog under control at all times. It is not your friend"s fault that this little dog was not being properly restrained from running in the road and getting hurt. Your friend cannot afford to buy a new puppy for this family and I feel that him replacing the dog would not add value to the pet. If they have to go out and pay for a new dog perhaps they will be more careful about making sure it is never allowed to run loose and able to get in the road. The road is for cars and not dogs. Your friend was where he was supposed to be and the dog was not. As I said I understand that accidents do happen. We cannot control everything that happens in life but your friend was a victim of circumstances and needs to come to terms with that. |
