[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 144120, member: 1944"] I ran over my first dog last night. I was just sick over it, and still am. The dog must have been after my truck as I met up with him, or one that looked like him, or as I found out after, I hit.... HER. On the next road over, when I was trying to make a delivery, but stopped once I shut off the truck. She came out from beside a car that was parked out to the road, I barely had time to hit the brake and it was all ice. She was a big girl, a rotweiller, about 170 pds. And she didnt make it. She laid there crying, and no one would come out of their houses. I finally got a neighbor to come out and put his van behind her so no one else could hit her, while I tried to locate the owner. When I found him, he came out and was afraid to move her, as he was afraid she would bite him. She was "tied" with a nylon rope about the thickness of a phone line. I told him to do something not leave her here in the street, covered by my coat and vest. I had to get my air in, and had to leave, left my name and he called this morning to my boss and said she died. No sh** she got ran over by a 3 ton truck. Now if it had been a child I think what I could have done, and I could have veered off the road and hit the parked car, but in a split second I didnt think I should do that for a dog. But because of his negligence, I have to live with killing that big beautiful animal. He told my boss I was gracious, professional, blah, blah, blah, and it was totally his fault. I knew that, and I guess I appreciate that. But it just kills me that I killed her. Just thought I would share my story about people who want big bad dogs for protection of themselves, but dont do their part to protect their animal. [/QUOTE]
