It really is strange how you are almost meant to be in a certain place at a certain time.
Several things conspired to have my son & I in a position to save a badly injured dogs life tonight!
1. DS was supposed to go to a visiting circus with a friend,
2.. The friend cancelled, work commitments.
3. I thought about going to Mums, wasn't going to go
4. DS said he would come also as not going to circus, so I went
5. Would usually come home another road but made a detour as son wanted to go out an obscure road to see if any land for sale. I really wanted to go the straight road home as I was hungry but didn't say anything.
Just amazing how decisions that you make & turns that you take influence things.
You are probably thinking that this is irrelevant twaddle but I was just so glad that I was on that road at that time.
We were driving along when we saw 2 cars stopped & a dog lying on the road. I saw blood & felt ill. I stopped of course as I had vets number in cell phone & couldn't have passed it anyway without trying to help!
DS ran over, I did not want to see the dog, I cannot bear an animal suffering.
Anyway the men standing there were going to get a club hammer & kill the dog to put it out of misery OMG!!!!!
DS called the vet & as we know them well, they got us one out of hours! Well the big cowards of men were afraid & wouldn't even help DS lift him into my car!
I flew to the Vets, about 2-3 miles with DS comforting the poor dog, his crying was really killing me!
Poor thing relaxed when he got a high dose of pain killers, vet gave him a warm drip to rehydrate, didn't think anything was broken but he may have internal bleeding.
She made him comfortable with blankets & we will call in the am! Has to assess him in am to see what's to be done! A beautiful young black labrador!
A young boy on the scene said he knew the owners but it was near a housing estate which is quite poor & perhaps these people won't claim the dog because of expense! & so you know that if he survives I will be acquiring a new friend!!!
I am hoping the dog will have survived but you never know what the outcome will be in a case like this. Either way at least we were on hand to save him from a horrible fate & if he does die it will be humanely & pain free!
Good thoughts for this poor animal please, he suffered so much lying on that road, my heart bleeds for him! His howling haunts me! Hoping that this will have a happy ending but having mixed feelings whether or not he should be reunited with owners who let him loose on the roads
