Ok I guess this places me in the bad pet owner catagory
. The little pom I referred to in my other post was my baby. We had some young men stop for water for their car. I was in the other room and she dashed out the door without my teenager noticing. When I came back in the room looking for her a few minutes later we were all in a panic as we lived on a busy street. We ran out the door seconds later only to find her laying dead on the side of the road
. These things do happen to responsible owners. I would never ever put my babies in harms way. She like the one the op hit was a young puppy and we were working on her training. It does happen.
