A women coming out of a vet's office sees two small dogs confused and disoriented in the middle of a busy highway, . Tries to rescue them and gets hit by a car and, sad to say, died after several weeks in a hospital. Bless her soul. The dogs ran off into a field , it was reported and never seen.

Agreed, most people are decent. Hope this asshole gets caught .

If this is true, and I hope it is because I hate to think that an owner would do this, Brigid Jun 2014 #29
