My friend and I were driving down through town last night and hit a dog. We killed him. I can honestly say that it was the most horrific experience of my life. It was very graphic and just plain, horrible. He was just in too bad of shape to do anything to help him so while trying to contact the vet I knelt next to him and covered him in a blanket and smoothed him down while he passed. We had no idea who owned him or even where to start looking for owners so we brought him to the vet clinic and they said they would hold his body while we tried to find his people. I called the spca today and asked if anybody reported a dog matching his description missing. They knew right away who was missing him and that they were frantic so telling them that he was dead was just .. honestly, there are no words to desvribe the feeling.
Honestly, I was hoping that he belonged to somebody that didn't care about him. I know how horrible that is but knowing that there is a family out there right now grieving over that beautiful dog is just heart wrenching. I keep thinking how I would feel if it were MY dog that it happened to :'(
I figure I had to talk to somebody about it that would understand. Because other then my mom, every body else thinks I am an idiot for caring so much about it. But it is killing me.
I feel like the worst person in the world, and I wasn't even driving the vehicle but I feel im at fault some how.
