So about 9 pm tonight, just after a huge thunder storm, we hear a bang and yelping, we work out an animal has been hit by a car but the car that hits this dog doesn't slow and drives off. My Mum rushes outside and calls for this dog and it runs past her to sit on our doorstep. This dog is totally scared and stressed, and at this point Asha has gone to the door (we have a screen door) and all I can think is Asha is going to lose it at this poor dog, but no very calm and her behaviour seems to settle this dog, enough for Mum to pick it up anyway. I spend about 15 minutes on the phone and computer looking at different vets that are open 9 pm on a Wednesday; find one not too far from us and off to the vet we go. I end up signing a Good Samaritan Release Form and signing this dog over to the vet. No micro chip, but the dog was getting pain relief while I was signing the form. It seemed ok, just wouldn't put weight on one of its back legs.
Hopefully this dog will be all right and the owners are found. But I feel terrible and sad, even though I know what we did for this dog was probably the best thing for it.
