Whilst hoovering the car earlier on, somehow Finley let the dog out of the kitchen and before i know whats going on, Murphy been run over outside our house

Tried to get him off the road, he bit me a few times, got a nasty chunk missing off my face and arm is mangled a bit, but poor thing was really yelping and looked absolutely petrified.

Driver of the car stopped, got out, i was trying to pick dog up then she got back in her car and fucked off

Straight to vet, hes been sedated and X-rayed and hes got extensive pelvic fractures to both sides awaiting a phonecall from orthopaedic surgeon vet who is trying to sort it out with the insurance company to see if they are going to pay for it ( first quote from a clinic was 5k!)

So had a really shit day, and feeling very shaken and shocked still.

Gutted arent the words

Sarah.

 

shame to hear, hope you and the dog recover ok.

 

Oh how awful, hope you get the news your hoping for. Bastard driver fuckin off!!

 

Sorry to hear that, horrible to see a pet in that situation i bet, hope the little fella pulls through ok.

 

I just feel wrecked, im still shaking and still finding it hard to believe whats happened, went to see him in the vets, hes out of it in a cage, which is for the best at the minute until the insurance decide whats going on and we get a price for his surgery.

I keep going over and over in my head whats happened, why did i decide to hoover the bloody car today

 

 

here he is 4 days ago....

 

cant begin to think of what you are going through just now matemy brothers dog got run over and i swear i nearly dragged the old women out the car in a rage.luckily he survived.i pray murphy pulls through aswell.

 

Hope the handsome bugger makes a full recovery.

 

you and me both KSACossie

Hes the first pet we have had as a family and i just feel so helpless in it all

Sarah

 

gutted for ya...hopefully the insurance will payout and hell get sorted and on the road to recovery straight away....HERE`S WISHING HIM ALL THE BEST TO A FULL RECOVERY

atvb mat.

 

all the best to the wee man, hope he gets better.

 

Fingers crossed the insurance will see him back to health soon

I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong here, but as i understood it, the driver could be of interest to the police for leaving the scene of an accident?

I seem to remember there's something like that which applies to dogs but not cats?

Either which way, main thing now is to hope he gets sorted!

 

Ive reported her, but i didnt get the reg, because she fucked off so quick and i was more concerned with Murphy.

By law you have to report an accident involving a dog, so she has left the scene and not reported, so broken the law twice. I hope she feels bad, dont give a toss if its written her 59 plate Jag off if im honest

Sarah

 

not nice fella, feel for ya.
my 11yr old alsation goes under tomorow, to investiate a lump (hope its not cancer), and find out just how bad her arthritis has gotten

 

Nasty... hope youre ok after he bit you etc.

Have you recently had a tetanus jab as if not you will need one now.

 

Sorry to read this, what a twat the driver is.

 

Really feel for you sarah, must have been awfull. hope the dog makes a full and speedy recovery.

 

markyd3- Been to drop in clinic and theyve given me antibiotics, hes given me a pretty nasty one on my face and my right arm looks like an ink-free tattoo

Gotta go to docs for a tetanus as theyre shut on a Thursday

Sarah

 

Thanks mate, the thought of leaving him in there all night is worse, he doesnt know them or anything, just hope he pulls through it all.

 

So sorry to read about this

Hope the insurance pays out for you

No point beating yourself up about doing the car either, these things happen

Steve

 

hope the dog pulls through mate !!! and hope the get hold of her that was driving heartless bxxch !!fingers crossed 4 ya mate

 

hope he / she is ok

 

Very brave of you to carry on getting the dog off of the road even though it was so scared it was "attacking" you.

I hope both you and Woof make a full recovery.

 

Horrible news... I can't imagine what you're thinking, I'd be a wreck if it was Harry in that situation, good luck with his and your recovery

PS... looking at that photo he got big quick!

 

I didnt think anything other than i needed to move him, cos he was laid in the road, i couldnt just leave him, instinct i guess, just like his instinct will have been to attack me due to fear, managed to keep hold of him too, which probably did me no favour at all, but it all happened so fast i dont really know when i think back

Sarah

 

Hes grown loads Ben, hes 4 months now!

 

sorry to hear this,i was gutted when i got my dog put down,he got ran over once aswell,the old woman didnt stop either,i found her car though.

 

what a shame-hope everything turns out ok.

fingers crossed.

 

sorry to hear fella hope he pulls threw!

 

hope he is ok mate, its my biggest fear with my 14 month staffie he is thick as sh*t when it comes to roads.
gary

 

Feel for you and can empathise with your situation.

Hope he pulls through it OK and gets home soon.

 

im sorry to see this, really hope the insurance hurry's up and sorts it out

 

I think your wrong there. Pretty sure it's the other way around, she could report you to the police for not being in control of it in a public place. A dog like that should never be in the position where it's able to run in the road. Could have just as easily attacked a child or something.

Sorry to hear about it being run over though.

 

Hope he is ok soon........ Poor thing...

Same happened to my cat last year, got ran over. His pelvis was ok so they took his leg off.....
He runs round now like nothing has happened...

 

Really cant believe someone could drive off in a situation like that!!

Hope he pulls through,

Karl

 

really sorry to hear whats happened and all the best as to what happens.

Take it there wont be any cctv anywhere or anything that could have picked up the bitch driving off or any neighbours who saw it?!

As said well done for still getting him our the road despite what he did to u, tis an unfortunate reflex that anydog could have!! All the best for both of u, cant imagine how i'd feel if either of my 2 had the same thing happen

 

She actually has 24 hours to report the accident. I highly doubt she did it on purpose. And as the dog was going scitzo and biting you I think I'd of done one too!!

 

ahhh, shit, truly horrible thing to happen and cant have been nice to see. Hope he gets over it, you did well keeping your head in the old 'fight or flight' situation, alot of people would have just panic'd and made the whole thing worse. fingers crossed for him. I'll never forget watching a dog getting knocked over near me, this little girl in a car park was shouting it to come back and it thought it was a game, I tried to help by putting myself in its way to try slowly corner it but the more she screamed the more the dog got aggitated, it bolted into main road and boom, horrible noise of animal on plastic and the most gut wrenching welp. Girl was distraught, we picked him up and took him to vet for her. Would hate for Albert to get hurt this way. Make sure you keep us all up to speed.

 

Really sad news this and must be horrible for you.Hope Murphy makes a full and quick recovery.
