I don't know where to post this Help needed This is from a Friend of mine I came home from work and saw his post maybe someone could help him out. My neighbors Yorkie Pup ran out in the street under my truck. The back tire hit the pup and killed it. The kids were in the yard and saw it. I stopped apologized and felt horrible. I went to the store and went back and apologized to the kids and hugged their necks. Looking for a Yorkie pup to take to these kids as a gift. e so much appreciated.

I feel awful for your friend and the family that lost their pet. I suggest your friend say he is sorry. The dog ran out into the street and was hit. Another replacement pet may suffer the same fate. Giving them money or another pup is not always a good idea. I too have accidently hit a dog. I offered money so they could buy another dog, I felt horrible. They took $500 to replace the little Doxie/Begal mix. It helped my guilt. My daughter inlaw (is a lawyer) said I should not have given them money. That it was their neglect that caused the dogs death. I scolded her (she is not a doggy person) said she didn't understand what it was like to lose a beloved pet. Two weeks later, their new dog got hit by a car too. |
Try looking at a rescue for a Yorkie pup that needs a loving home. You dont want to go to a pet shop for puppies....they are puppy mill babies. However, I would be afraid the children would let the new baby out into the street also.... |
I agree with Teresa. It's the dog owners responsibility to protect the pup, not the guy driving in the street. If the owners were irresponsible with one puppy, they may be with the next. While I understand accidents happen, the driver in the street isn't at fault and shouldn't have to replace a pup. I understand how bad he feels, as I'd initially be devasted to if I injured anyone's pet....but then...I'd be angry that I was in that position due to someone's negligence. |
I agree with Teresa and would never place one of my pups in that home. :( Ohhhh I misread it. But, there is no way I would take that family another pup. Why was it outside with children and no fence??? Tell him to say he is sorry. It is NOT his fault. I realize how awful he must feel....I would be devastated |

This is what he said... No. the people are responsible pet owners. Their kid took the dog out to pee and another kid came to visit and left the gate open. |
What a sad thing to have happened and for the kids to have seen it. They must be devastated as would anyone in this situation. I can totally understand how you would feel responsibility but this was not your fault. I can also understand you wanting to make it right by purchasing a new pup for them. I think that you need to let the family deal with the loss of this pup and when the time is right for them. Let them make the decision whether to get another pup. You are not the one who let the pup out of the house and you have to understand that this was nothing more than a horrible, horrible accident that could have been prevented if the pup had been no a leash. This was not your fault! |
It is a devastating situation but I agree with the majority. That little angel should of been on a leash or supervised by an adult! |
From what Richard said dog was in backyard and one of the kids friends visiting left the gate open:( |

I know how your friend must feel. i would feel terrible. I agree with the last poster i would ask the parents if they would like for you to help them replace the dog. i defently wouldn't just show up with one without talking to the parents first. |
Tell your friend to turn it in on his car insurance. When we were younger a kid ran over and killed our little pom who had dashed from the house and the young mans insurance gave us back what we had paid for her so we were able to get another one later. They are good about replacing registered dogs. |

I would have to agree with the overall sentiment. It wasn't your friends fault but I would be so guilt ridden if it were me. As horrible and sad as it is, the children will have learned a very valuable lessen from this that they cannot for a moment take their attention away from the responsibility of caring for a live being. I am so very sorry that the children had to witness this. |
