I just read the most recent post from Crazy Girl City.
Her poor dog Jake was hit by a car on 8 November after a mad, fast, and furious escape.
Strangely enough, my dog did the same thing yesterday. Valentino took advantage of the situation as I was potting an azula plant. He stood on the deck. Looked off into the distance and ran for it. I ran after him as fast as I could but he made it into the street where a white van rolled right over him. People on the street stopped, the white van skidded to a halt, and I was standing still in a coma-like state. Valentino, being only about eight pounds, stood between the tires as the van passed him over head. Next, he ran out in the next lane of passing traffic and almost caused a blue sedan to get in an accident. Lucky for me and everyone involved, everything turned out okay. A couple on the other side of the street helped me to grab him and commented on how close he came to being dead.
What can pet owners do?
My only instinct was to immediately begin the laborous process of doggie school and discipline. His next escape might not be blessed with as much luck again. It saddens me to say that Crazy City Girl's dog, Jake, didn't make it. I wish her all the best in her dog's untimely death. It's never easy to deal with loss.
