Another crazy dog story: my daughter and her boyfriend were driving along a busy road near dark the other night when a very small dog ran in front of them. They jammed on the brakes and just missed it. But the dog decided to just stay in the road. They stopped, got out of the car, and tried to get the dog to come to them. It wouldn't. Just then ... THUMP-THUMP. The dog gets run over by a car
Now it's laying in the road motionless and my daughter is in tears.
They run over to check on it and the dog gets up and runs to the sidewalk. They eventually get the dog into the car and can see the tire marks on the dog. There's no collar or ID. They take it to the 24-hour animal hospital and have it checked and X-rayed and there is nothing at all wrong with it
The vet also could see the tire marks. And they saw it get hit and heard the dreaded double thump.
So now they're trying to decide whether to keep it or not and meanwhile are compiling a list of possible names: Michelin, Speedbump, Snowtire, Retread, Pothole and my daughter's favorite - Ren (from Ren & Stimpy fame).
