My dog got hit by a car but he lived and Iām really happy about that here are his pictures at the veterinarian I havenāt picked him up yet but Iām going in the afternoon to get him.
I donāt honestly know how I could live without him. He was on a harness and did some Houdini s***. Next time I will always attach his leash to his collar instead and never use a harness again I donāt think. Iām so happy heās alive heās made such a difference in my life like that dog I love more than just about anything in the world.
He had surgery on his lung. The bleeding stop so heās okay now thank God. They said there could have been complications but 90% of the time the dog heals without continuous bleeding and thank God he did. It was on a residential street in the car was going I donāt know a little faster than the speed limit but thatās okay I mean itās not his fault my dog was off his leash and he hit him apparently in his lung. Thank God it wasnāt his head or his heart. I keep thinking about how it could have been so much worse but from now on I will safely have my dog on his leash attached to his collar from now on I promise that. Also there is a really busy Street next to me where cars going much faster and Iām glad it wasnāt there that he got hit. This will never happen again though. I got this from now on no more harnesses. The lady at the emergency veterinarian office told me that this happens a lot with harnesses.
Iām just so happy heās alive and with me. He looks scared in those veterinarian photos. They sent them to me through text message after they got done with his surgery. Heās going to need a lot of comfort.
Iām going to do some training classes when I get out of debt instead of get a computer
He really could use some training practice haha maybe who knows I could even get him to recall at some point in time but the most important thing is that heās secure on his leash and that means attached to his collar from now on. I learned my lesson but thank you VERY much Rune (the dog) appreciates you guys as well
Glad heās okay. Mine was off leash this morning training and also ran across the road when he saw another dog. Could have been hit by a car too. I got lucky.
Yeah, my previous Aussie I always felt comfortable with off-leash even in Houston. My current Aussie totally loses his mind if he sees another dog or a person and would certainly dash into oncoming traffic. He has no self-control in a purely excited friendly way
I firmly believe in a dog being trained for off-leash activities, because sometimes things happen (and he/she is off leash), but I also realize that some dogs are better suited mentally for the challenge and some not ;(
Indeed it is a dangerous thing owning a dog itās a lot of responsibility this is the last one Iāll ever own because like itās more than I can handle but like I love the one I got Iāll just never own another one I just cherish cherish cherish this one and youāre right it is dangerous when they get out in the road. Never can I allow such a thing to happen again where my dog is harmed itās just unacceptable
I talked to the veterinarian too and they said to have him attached to the harness and the collar so Iāll have it done to both from now on I just hope itās enough
