I feel bad
 

Layla and I went out running around today.. on our way home (on kinda like a country road but it's paved and the speed limit is like 80 km/h so fast enough) and we saw a lost dog... a jack russel terrier. So i pulled over and got him to come to me... a lady stopped in her car to ask me about him and i said he wasn't mine but didn't know what to do.. i moved my foot... he got scared and started walking away from me.. i called him but he wouldn't come... he seemed very skittish.... i coudln't chase him down the road and even if i did get close enough i dont' think he would have let me pick him up.. and even if he did.. then what? anyways... we left... i think she stayed... i saw her put her 4 way flashers on.. i feel just horrible for the dog... it was raining today... he didn't have a collar... cars just fly down that road.. i really hope she was able to get him... i feel just horrible for leaving but i know i couldn't have brought him in my car.. Layla would have had a fit which would ahve really upset the dog. *sigh* i guess i just needed to let it out... i'll feel just horrible if i go out again and something has happened to him :( please say a little prayer for this dog.. i hope he finds his home or someone is able to help him.

You did what you could it was nice of you to stop. poor little guy he didnt have a collar so you couldnt have immediately found his parents... dont beat yourself up

You did what you could. It would be great if we save them all.

i feel like i should go back and look for him.... but i don't know what i'd do if i found him... he has no collar..... how would i catch him?? and then what.... i feel just horrible...

I agree! You did what you could!

I know how you feel. It has happen to me before and you can't stop feeling bad even though you know you were trying to help.
I just said a prayer for that little dog and hope that he can find his way back home or somebody helps him to do so.
Don't feel bad, I know is easier to say than done, but you did what you could. hugs to you:)

it sounds like she was trying to find him - in your head - believe she did. Poor little guy - I hate seeing dogs on the roads......in houston I don't see alot but when I do - it's usually too late to get them if you know what I mean
(lots of traffic) :(

oh sweetie ... you are such a GREAT person for stopping... it got that other lady's attention... you did all that you could do... Im sure that lady found him and hopefully she will find his home.. or at least she can take care of him for the time being... HUGS!!! :hug:

Marci, it's ok. I'm sure the lady will keep an eye on him and maybe even manage to get him in the car. Just check the newspapers tomorrow to see if anyone placed an ad. Also if you have an animal shelter you could inform them where you saw the dog in case the owners call them.
We saw a black (looked lab mix) today, but couldn't stop to pick it up because we had a car full of grocery's. :( It's ok though, someone else will get him/her I'm sure. So don't beat yourself up ok!!

that is sad.. i hate hate HATE seeing dogs wandering lost.... one time i was commuting to school and looking out the window i saw a bulldog with a long chain still attached to him dragging on the ground as he ran across roads with lots of cars!!! i felt horrible and said a prayer hoping he gets found! :( but yeah i hope the dog you saw is okay!

Sending a prayer for that little fur-baby:animal36 I hope he was found and well, maybe you can call to a local humane society and let them know about the dog:confused:

Aww just reading this now. I really think you did the best you can-maybe the other lady was "meant" to find him because Layla would have gone crazy on you :) I too hope that she did, and that he is reunited with his owners soon!

Thanks.. i've thought about him every time i've driven down that road.. which is the only way out of my town... so a lot.. i sure hope he is home... i wish he would have had a collar on!

Maybe he is microchipped, so that if someone finds him and takes him to a vet/shelter they can scan him and find his owner!
