For those that know me I usually don’t let anything bother me – Ever. It all just blows right off, I’m not a person that really cares bout alot of stuff BUT this really has gotten to me and I have to say something before I break down.
3 days ago I was taking my son to school in the city approx 400,000 ppl. While we were driving down the main downtown core street (bout 1:00 so u can guarantee it was busy) a car hit a small dog in the other lane. Without thinking I stopped put on my 4ways and jumped out into traffic. By this time most of the cars had stopped to see what I was doing, I picked up the dog which looked in shock and badly injured I proceeded to ask the bystanders on the side of road where nearest animal hospital was. I was so upset all I heard was up the road. I put the poor dog on my sons lap and drove up the road looking, Well of course I did’nt find it so I stopped at a pet store and listened this time!
We managed to get her on the floor of car and to the Animal Hospital. When we got her inside another woman showed up frantic and saying she wanted the dog, she would pay for its medical care! I am pretty sure NOW she was the one who had hit it.
Like where did she come from, WHY was she there when I was the one that had picked up the dog? and I got lost yet she came in after me (enough time to turn round after hitting it).
Now the real story is about to begin.. Animal Control came just after I had left and took the dog, She had no tags or ID and was running stray so Apparently it is their job. I have called every morning for the last 3 days inquiring how she is and if its owners had come for her. She is doing ok, shock was the most of her trauma Thank God. BUT her family has not called, nothing!
What is with people? I have 2 dogs and 1 cat each one was given to me because they were no longer wanted or couldn’t be kept, and I tell you if one of them was missing for even an hour I would be frantic! This has been 3 Days now! This poor little dog is being kept in a cage shaken and scared, prob wanting her owners love. Where the Hell are they? I was told maybe they don’t deserve her back if they let her run and don’t inquire as to where she is.
I love my pets as much as my son and would do anything if they were lost, Why are’nt these people? I drove down the area she came from looking for signs for Lost Dog and nothing! I have posted numerous “helps” on twitter to news reporters, radio stations. Send messages to the reader to reader ads in paper. Posted to all my FB friends, Emailed Humane Society and checked the lost ads.
There is nothing more I can do and I feel so helpless. It is so sad to me that this poor dog that has been traumatized is now sitting in a cold cage alone! If I could take her you can bet I would, Its just not possible for me to do it and I’m heart broken for her.
