Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Wow. That was a good samatarian story - at least people tried to help her. I saw the dogs name was 'Lucky' - good name for the dog but sad for that poor woman. Recently I had to block all traffic with my car after seeing a 'family' of what looked like a mom, dad and puppies all wandering down the middle of a pretty street near the freeway .....they were skinny and lost and so sad looking - one puppy was limping. There were 3 women trying to call them to the side of the road and had their cell phones out so even though I never got out of my car - blocking all traffic worked because people were trying to drive around them and the puppies were actually walking right toward moving cars.....it was really sad. When all were corralled - I got a signal from one of the woman that they had it under control but those poor dogs really bother me even now. It happens all too often. |

| When your thoughts are on keeping your best freind from getting hurt or injured i guess all of your common sense goes out of your head. I know she must have been hysterical. It's happen to me and you just go nuts trying to avoid your dog being involved in an accident. Cars are so much of a threat to our furkids. |

| That is sad. I think I would have to do the same though. I know that I've stepped in the middle of the street (in my own neighborhood) when a car is coming down the road. They are just so tiny that it's so hard to see them, and especially when they are on opposite sides of the road form each other.

| Oh my gosh. In my heart I would do the same, but then I didn't when I had the chance. One day Scruffs got out of the house I was house sitting (the gate didn't latch, I was going to get the mail). He ran out to me but since it looked like I was going home he ran ahead of me. I couldn't find him, so I ran down to my house and there he was, at my house. The car came, Scruffs saw me and ran across the street. Right in front of the car. It stopped inches away from him. I just stood there. I didn't know what to do. It was dusk, I am so thankful that car stopped. It was a big wake up call to me that I need to be more careful. I forgot about that day, and now it just keeps replaying in my mind.

| That is a total tragedy, I can't really say if I would do it I would not want to leave my 3 boys without me, their mom.. I just don't know what I would do, my reaction would be to run and save him, but if the truck was that close I just don't know |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | There was a story in the news recently where 2 men went out on a frozen lake to save a golden .....they didnt make it. They drowned ......the dog did manage to get to shore. It's amazing what people will do to save an animal - just as much as its amazing how cruel some people are when it comes to animals. I know things can happen in a split second and many of us would have acted on instinct but how terribly sad lives get lost in the process. |
