I saw a dog get hit by a car yesterday.

Yesterday, as a friend and I were coming home from buying a new set of scales, a dog ran out in the street and the car in front of us hit him going about 35mph after he put on his brakes. We stopped and the dog was whimpering for about 30 seconds then just started breathing real hard and unable to move. I called the number on the collar and a girl answered and I told her that her dog was hit and she flipped out. She came running down the street a few minutes later screaming her dogs name and crying her eyes out. I consider myself a strong guy but I lost it then. She called her dad and he seemed to be in more of a wreck than she was from what I could gather in the phone conversation.
We lifted the dog up on a plywood sheet and put him in the back of a pickup truck and they drove off with him. I just looked at myself covered in blood and in total shock from what just happened. My friend couldn't get out of the car until I begged her to try and help this poor dog. I wish I could have done something (I felt so helpless) and I think that he's dead now. His injuries weren't evident on the outside but I know he was severely bleeding on the inside by the amount of blood that was coming out of his mouth. It turned my ayahuasca day into a drinking day.
Should I call this family and ask how their dog is? I don't know what to do. Maybe I should just let it go and not know the outcome. I'm confused and can't get that image out of my head of that girl running down the street screaming.
A sad day indeed .

I think you should call if it's something you're wondering about. She would probably appreciate your concern too.

Just let it go. My mom hit a bird once on the way back from the beer store and cried on the side of the road for a long time. My sister hit a dog and laughed her ass off. Point is... I'm not sure. Animals + Cars = died

No don't ask them how their dog is. If it died that'll just upset them. I would just leave it be if I were you. Better than risking upsetting them in my opinion.
It is sad though. I saw an old lady's cat in the road right in front of her house, you could see where the tire had gone right over it. That def brought a few tears to my eyes.

I agree.
Let it go. You did the right thing by calling them the first time.

I would ask, if you're wondering. I don't think they would be upset if it died, I think they would appreciate you helping, and appreciate your concern. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It was awesome of you to stick around and call her like that.

It brought back a memory of my 27th birthday 4 years ago. I left my apartment and was walking towards my car when I saw this cat laying in the hot Florida sun in the middle of the summer. As I got closer I realized that this cat was severely hurt. It couldn't move its back legs and was meowing and getting louder the closer I got. Since I had cats at the time, I ran inside and got my cat carrier and opened it up and he pulled himself in with his front paws. I think he knew that I was helping him.
I took him to the emergency vet and told them (since he had no collar) to call me before they put him to sleep. I called back later that day and they said they put him to sleep because they didn't know who the owner was and had no money to perform the huge operation they had to perform.
The fucking bastards. I would have paid for the surgery. If I saw a human get hit by a car I wouldn't care. Animals are totally different stories. They're innocent. Yes, I'm one of those, lol. So what. Anyway, peace out.

i kind of caused my dog to get hit by a car one time. i was out playing with it in the yard, and i faked threw a frisbee in one direction, right when a bird was flying over, and my dog thought the bird was the frisbee, and then the bird turned right into the street, and my dog followed, and just got nailed by a truck. she was a black lab, best dog i have ever owned. i am still not totally over it, seeing as i still see it as my fault.
my dad hit a dog way back in the day, and killed it instantly. he carried it's body up to the house where it was from, and the mother of the house with all her 5 kids (4 girls, 1 boy) all started crying while my dad asked for a shovel and buried it for them. he said he cried all the way home.
this other time i hit a cat while out cruising with some friends. we were on some back roads going about 90 mph, just having fun, and a cat ran out in front. it was weird, because i could see the cat from what felt like 100 yards away, and i was like, "that fucking cat is gonna run out in front of me". but i couldn't slow down in time, and ran right over the top of it. we all could feel the cat tumbling and crunching up underneath the car as we went over. we thought it was dead (i mean, what can live through a 90 mph impact), but when we went to check it out, it was laying there still, and right when we were over top of it, it reared up its head and started meowing and moaning and shit. i almost lost it right then. then this man and his wife (both about 30-40 yrs old) came out from a farm house that was a good 100-200 yards away. the woman was crying and she said "honey, is it whiskies?!" my friend and i looked at eachother and we were both thinking "please, for the love of god, don't let this cat be whiskies!". the man bent down and checked it out, and it wasn't their cat. so he ringed it's neck and threw it in the ditch, chewed our asses out for speeding, and said the cat probably belonged to the lady down the street (turned out, when we went to her house, she was an old cat lady, and she didn't seem that distressed that we hit her cat...oh well). we were all pretty down after that...
so yeah, those are my roadkill stories.
