Just saw this as I was driving home,

Brown/tan medium to large dog, probably around fifty pounds, was hit on western in this area:

In the eastbound lanes, leftmost lane, just north of that apartment complex on western. It looked like a hit and run, and the dog was toast. If anybody knows somebody with a dog that looks kind of like a pitt in that area, give them a call. Somebody doesn't know what happened to their pet.

Some people love their pets more than people. Chances are somebody like that owned this dog and they need to know what happened.

Loved it so much it was wandering on the road, AMIRITE?

Don't be a douchebag.

I absolutely hate the way some people treat other people's pets.
It is ridiculous. Maybe the dog got off of its chain, or possibly dug under its fence.
Just because it was loose doesn't mean that someone didn't love it...

BTW: It is pretty damn sad to hit a dog on Western...you shouldn't be going that fast

I hit a deer travleing less than 35 before

you can control your vehicle, not the dumbass animal that walks out in front of it


(see dan allen drive for more examples)

I think it's always going to be the owner's fault. You are responsible for taking enough precautions to prevent your pet from escaping, even if it means putting two bolts on your gate or building your fence higher. I've heard of too many bleeding heart tales about people who "didn't know how Spot could have possibly gotten out, etc. etc."

Animals don't know any better, and you should know by now that people drive like fucknuts. So that leaves YOU, the owner.

Threads like this -- or actually some of the replies in them -- remind me why I loathe so very many wolfweb people.

6/10/2007 6:48:19 PM

There's a ton of black people with pit bulls in this area. I can only hope it was one of the ones used for fighting and thus put out of its misery.

6/10/2007 8:22:41 PM

Ya, who understands those black dudes anyway? They only have dogs to fight.

6/10/2007 10:13:25 PM

so... if you care so much, why didn't you stop and check its collar instead of making a thread on tww??

6/10/2007 10:38:46 PM

we were there right after it happened.... two cars were pulled over on the side of the road and another dog that looked similar to the one that was hit looked injured and was off to the side.
we saw two people run from their cars to the injured looking dog... we pulled over to see if we could help but there wasn't anything we could do. i kinda figured someone would at least pull the poor dog out of the road :/

figure most people are probably going atleast 45, so unless the dog is just standing in the road then it would be hard to stop in time. Sure if they had seent it slightly before it ran out then they wouldn't be going full speed, but you don't have to be going that fast to do some damage.

6/10/2007 10:55:20 PM

first i thought this thread said "Dogshit on Western"

and i was

then a second later i was

I want to get a pet but I have a roomate who is a doushebag to animals. He thinks it is funny to fuck with them over and over until they become mean.

So where was the person or car that was "hit and run" in relation to the road kill?

An animal owner is responsible for keeping the animal safe, within reason, and within their power. There are people out there who think it's funny to be malicious to other people's pets.

While on vacation, I got a call from our petsitter. Somehow, my dog in the backyard had gotten some fried chicken, with bones in it.
1) we really don't eat fried chicken at all. B0j0s once in a while, and chicken tenders from there.
2) he was fenced in the backyard, while the trashcan is on the side of the house on the other side of the fence...as if there would have been chicken in the trashcan he could get to anyways

This was shortly after a neighbor came over and bitched about my bf's dog (inside dog) whining at the front door to be let in.

"your dog is bothering me"
"maam, I'm petsitting, and I'm sorry"
"hrrmmmph"

Not saying it was her, but someone thought it'd be cute/funny/whatever to give a dog chicken with bones in it. That's just short of putting a dish of antifreeze in their yard.

You do what you can, but you can't put your pet in, say, an enclosed, locked, shed to keep them safe from other people.

^ i agree, you can do everything within your power and still be at the mercy of fuckwits. However, I would think that most cases of loose animals are due to owner neglegince, rather than malicious actions of neighbors/foes.

My mom had a dog a couple years ago and we were walking it in her yard on a leash. It broke loose and went running as fast as it could. My mom has a huge yard with lots of trees and thick woods right next to her property. He ran around the house and we chased him but it took us a few minutes to find him. He made it to the road and got hit before we could get to him. I admit it was our fault, but it would have been nice to have someone stop and apologize for hitting him. I'm not saying it's required or anything else, but knowing that someone cares is always nice.

6/14/2007 4:47:24 PM

haha apologize it probably hurt the dudes car

The driver didn't do anything wrong. Nor could he fix the situation. Therefore there's no reason to stop.

6/14/2007 5:13:00 PM

you people! Often it is not the driver's fault or the owner's.

in Tabby's story, she said the dog broke loose. How is that the owner's fault?

doesn't the term "road kill" apply to wildlife? this was someone's pet! Someone cared about this dog.

not all pit bulls are used for fighting. And I'm sure the people who do it aren't all black.

A 22-year-old woman was murdered on Centennial Campus this morning and you people are more worried about a dead dog.
