| Some people just don't deserve dogs! Today, I was coming back in the house after taking the boys out, and I saw a dog run across the street and get hit. My neighbor was out doing yardwork and came running over. After the dog got hit, he hobbled to my front yard. I got a phone number from his tag and called his owner. A lady answered and said she would be right there. My neighbor and I sat with the dog and tried to keep him comfortable. I put a blanket on him and just kept reassuring him. I could tell he was in pain, and he was very very scared. His owner got here, and she asked me where he was hurt. I told her it seemed like his hip and leg, but he needs to see a vet to make sure there's no internal injuries or broken bones. She said "oh, he'll be fine....he's like a cat, he has 9 lives. He's always getting into trouble." She honestly didn't seem all that concerned and wasn't all that gentle about putting him in her car. I get so tired of seeing people not taking care of their pets. They don't deserve them.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That's awful....nothing surprises me anymore. I know I'd have wanted to go upside her head for that kind of attitude but there are many many people out there just like her good for you taking care of him and if I were you I WOULD call - maybe it'll set your mind at ease and maybe you can talk her into seeing a VET |

| Poor dog Can you imagine getting hit by a car and not having a doctor look at it.

| Poor dog. That was really nice what you did for it before the owner came. It made me mad what she said, but I'm so glad to hear she took it to the vet. If you can, please keep us informed about how the dog did thru the surgery. Good Job for helping that poor, helpless, injured dog.

| That just made me physically ill. How can a pet owner be so callus? It is just awful. Poor little thing, I just can't coment anymore it is just sickening. At least you were kind and loving to him.

| Gee whiz -- you wonder if you have to have a license to drive a car or get married, why on earth you don't need some sort of clearance to have a pet! When people adopt children, every aspect of their lives is looked at -- well, an animal is a living thing just like a child, but any idiot can have one!
