If your dog were killed. How would you cope?

[IcedLemonade]

It's really sad. he was always so happy, he was only 1 years old. When I got him he was all alone abandoned on the side of the road, leashed to a tree with bloody lacerations on his neck from trying to free himself.

Last night he was left outside a little too late. When I finally called him inside... he didn't respond. I ended up finding him on the side of the road not far from the house. Rip. He was still dying. I think he was hit by a car, but on second thought he could've been shot by someone or bitten by a snake. The real tragedy here is my own ego, by having to discard my care for him so quickly. By having to go to sleep and live life without giving him much more thought, ever again. Will I let everyone do the same of me? eminem once said "I'll probably never get the props I feel I deserve but I'll never be served, my spot's forever reserved, if I ever leave earth there will be the death of me first, because in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse."

Either way

He only got a trial at life, but what animal beneath us doesn't.

I cried a lot.
Murphy treated me like I was her boyfriend!! One day, mom had her hair cut short for the Summer, as she did every year and, 2 days later, she was just gone!! We had no idea where she went! She was such a good dog she NEVER needed a leash and we could just open the front door to let her out by herself knowing she'd NEVER leave the yard or run out into the street!! All the neighbors knew this and were amazed at how well trained she was!!
We looked all over the area for her for at least a day only to find her under a huge bush in the front yard panting like crazy!! I crawled in to get her out and we rushed her to the only vet that was open on a Sunday! They were at least 30 to 50 miles away!! They examined her and said she had a heart murmur and probably would see the next day so, they suggested we put her to sleep. They did and we took her home in the cardboard coffin they gave us and buried her in the yard next to that bush!! :-(
When Sammi died about 20 years before, I cried a lot, too, mostly because I never got to say goodbye to her (at least I held Murphy's paw until she was gone!). I was living with my girlfriend at the time and didn't even know they put Sammi to sleep until a few days later when I went back home for a few hours and saw that she was nowhere around! Once we got back to the apartment, I decided to play a song by Klaatu about someone having just lost their best friend. This time, I paid attention to the lyrics and suddenly discovered that it was a song about a guy that just lost his DOG!! I cried like a baby and, to this day, I doubt I can hear it again without crying!

I lost a dog many years ago , after being hit by a car , it was extremely sad , lots a blame cast , but unfortunately my dog had managed to sneak out a slender fence hole , and she had an horrendous habit of sniffing the road , something she liked there. Its a quiet road , but is used as a speed zone ( or was then , safety stops now ) ..
To mind her body on the nature strip at midnight was utterly heartbreaking , nothing could be done , so I buried her , felt very guilty personally..
Unfortunately thats the life cycle :( , people and animals die..

[IcedLemonade]

Wow. He escaped a fence too, but this road was 30mph. The person who hit him either didn't care, speeding, or not paying attention.

[molonski2]

Our road is possibly same speed ( less actually ) 40 k per house , my dog was dashound , beautiful little girl I got from the pound , they love people , but are really lazy , shed walk 500 metres , then Id put her in my backpack , with head on my shoulder and Id walk the other 4 . 5 k..
Id put her in backyard when I went to work , and shed be fine , unless I went to a function afterwards which is what happened.
Young kids , at the time were using this slow road as a race track , drag strip , there were a number of property accidents , unfortunately she had zero road sense , despite trying hard to teach her :( really sad.
Then my girlfriend at the time , who had returned to Singapore , of course completely blamed me , and said " You killed her " , that really hurt , and made me really angry.

Yes I know how it feels. I felt it 2 times. Once when we adopted a rabbits I would always talk with them when I felt low. They even always listened to me. But they both were killed by a pack of dogs. There home had a side where a sheet of metal was applied so they can breathe. The dogs somehow tore the metal net sheet and dragged them out. Thank fully I didn't saw that horrible seen. My parents told that it all happened in late night when I was asleep. Other time didn't happened long ago. I had developed this habit of keeping seeds near the window in a bowl so the pigeons that live nearby could eat it. After few months a pigeon became a type of my friend. I think he sensed my smell from the seeds for long time so he was comfortable with me. He didn't flied when I touched him. I kind of trained him some tricks and he enjoyed the lessons. We would meet at morning and evening. One evening he didn't showed up. I thought that he must have went to his nest. The next morning I encountered a horrible seen. I thought of going to garden. I climbed down the stairs (the home isn't joined type. The second floor is where we live. The first floor is the office and the ground floor is for guest residence. ) When I climbed down the stairs of first floor I saw that pigeon was half eaten and a evil cat was roaming in garden with a bloody mouth. From now I won't keep any animal friends as it feels really heartbreaking to loose them.

You have my sincere sympathy. We lost our beloved Meg Dog aged 6 years from an inoperable brain tumour. It never leaves you. You learn to live with it, but there will always be reminders of happy times.

Just take it day by day. Shed a tear if you need to. That is no big deal.

[OlderAndWiser]

If you are not afraid of love, the kids of a pretty is always difficult.

[pink_and_inlove]

I still remember seeing that dead dog in front of my neighborhood sign :( i still think about that poor dog he was a black pitbull and he followed me sometimes at night because he wanted to play :( this reminded me of that. But his owner’s were always negectful that’s why that happend they didn’t really care for him they even let their baby run away

[Biancam13]

I’m so sorry for your loss. 😢 it’s heartbreaking and devastating losing a loved one. Especially when they die young, it just feels very unfair that they had to go. My thoughts go out to you ❤️❤️

[snackthatsmilesback]

I do stuff to distract. Work out helps & outlet. It sucks anyway

For own death people moving on, I like Ben Frank "write som worth reading or do som worth writing" eminem die slower than others cuz he wrote

[purplepoppy]

If I found out he'd been shot or hit by a car I'd be furious

[Anonymous]

You never leave your dog alone on his own specially with the main road around!!!

[IcedLemonade]

True

[FinalFantasyBro]

I would be grieving for a lot while I really want to own a dog, so thinking of hypothetical dog being killed is super upsetting.

[Rangers]

I'd kill the person responsible along with their family, burn their house down with them inside and leave.

[Juxtapose]

I've been through this shit at least half a dozen times before I swore off having outside animals.

[GlovewithLove]

I would call Keanu Reeves.

[captain_voidwalker]

Well of you've ever seen John wick...

[IcedLemonade]

I haven't but thanks for reminding me, haven't watched a movie in forever

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Remember that no can truly die

[IcedLemonade]

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Souls live forever

[IcedLemonade]

Well, i know. But I think you mean spirits. The soul only lives forever through physical reproduction, which I'm sad he never got to do

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Soul not body

[IcedLemonade]

The soul is the body, it's the instinctive part of the body!

[IcedLemonade]

Spirit is what is metaphysical

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I guess that makes sense no that I think about the Sound Spirits

[888theGreat]

I never let Chico out of my sight up until he died

[ninaneedshelp]

I’d be devastated

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

Revenge.
