I lost my boy Odysseus a Siberian huskyOct 15th 2005 the same way. My nephew opened the back gate letting him loose and got hit by a speeding car. My neighbors got him to the vet but before I got there he had passed. I was devistated and still today I miss him dearly. When I came back from Iraq he was the 1st thing I got as a pup and he helped me through my ordeal of returning to a normal life. Every now and then he visits in my dreams. I now have Odysseus II though he will never replace my 1st boy he helped me get somewhat over it. Now I have him pretty much dramatized when it comes to crossing a street. He has gotton away a few times but wont cross the street and sits on the corner lol. Thank goodness. Its a horrible thing and I dont wish that on anybody to go through. The times my boy has gotten away was always because of someone else ignorant to the fact a dog is in the house and leave doors open as they come in after being told. FYI the guy that hit my boy was caught and ticketed for speeding because a PD was not far behind. Bigdaddykane I am glad you stopped and helped. You have a big heart and I am sure the family of the dog were greatful that he didnt die alone. I hope others try to do the right thing.
