had to put my dog down today :(

[Brightyellow69rtse]

i had to put my buddy down today. he was a boxer mix i got from a shelter 4 years or so ago. when i got him he was maybe 9 months old. i named him looch after the bruins player milan lucic. he was previously beaten and the fear never really left him. he was a great dog! he almost never barked, never wrecked anything (except one pair of sneakers lol) he was also great with my kids.  he got out of the house for about ten mins and someone ran him over. no one ever stopped or anything i went out to get him and he was laying in front of my door and he hobbled in the house then i saw how bad he was hurt 

it was alot harder than i thought it was gonna be honestly. i still feel horrible about it but in my heart i know i did the right thing. i keep looking to see where he is. he always followed me around where ever i went. rest in  peace buddy you were a great dog and i miss you already.

sorry to hear about this,we get so attached to our pets ,it really hurts to lose them.

Sorry you lost a friend   You did the right thing. He isn't suffering from someone else's stupidity.  Unfortunately, you are.  We're here for you and  maybe we can help find you another faithful companion

I know how you feel, they are like family. So sorry for your loss. .

Sorry to read about this. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. Pets can be great companions for sure, and it's the worst to lose them, let alone like that.

[bakerhillpins]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your companion.  I lost our first dog when I was in middle school in a like manner. It's such a hard thing to do but you must know that it was the right thing to do for him.   

[mauve66]

been there, at least we knew he was getting old, you were blindsided, can't imagine what your going through, it will take awhile though so concentrate on the good memories

[charge69]

One of the toughest things we have to do in life is put a family pet down whether it be because of old age or, sadly, because of an unfortunate circumstance like this. So sorry for your loss and only time will heal the grieving. One of life's really sucky moments but I am sure you did the right thing.

[Lennard]

Sorry for your loss. I have four dogs myself and don't want to think about losing one.
If you are going to get another dog, please get one out of the shelter again.
Thousands of dogs/cats are being euthanized every day because nobody can or wants to take care of them.

R.I.P. Looch

Sorry for your loss....

[Fred]

So very sorry for your loss. Been there a few times myself and it is never easy, whatever the circumstances. And it takes almost forever to get over it.

[nvrbdn]

sorry to hear about your loss.

Our pets become family and it hurts badly when family dies. Sorry man.

Sorry to hear that, Those little guys can steal our heart and that makes it tough when this happens. It took us a long time to get over ours when we lost him. We got another one a few weeks later and this one is like 3 years old, we still sometimes call him our other dogs name.

[Cooter]

Sorry to hear. Some of my best friends are animals. Damn some humans, gimme the dogs. RIP little buddy.

[Marck]

Sorry for your loss.. Especially under those circumstances, what a looser to leave after having hit an animal..

[Brightyellow69rtse]

thank you guys i really appreciate the kind words.

[Brass]

Oh, man - how upsetting!  I feel really bad for you.  Good on you for rescuing the dog and providing a loving home in the first place.

[71ChallengeHer]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets become part of our families. We had to put our 17 yr old Calie cat down in May . I know how you feel.   

[Finn]

Very sorry man, I lost my dog a few months ago, one of the hardest days of my life. 

Hang tough.

[ODZKing]

It is bad when they get sick but I am sure this feels worse.
I had to put one of our cats down last February and frankly there isn't a day that goes by I don't think about that day.  It was awful and one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.
You'll both be in our prayers.

I am so so sorry.  I would end up in jail for life if I got my hands on the driver.
