A few of you may remember this blog post I made in April 2012 in regards to a young female Shepherd dog who lived in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, as I expected, it ended in tragedy.
As I mentioned in the blog post, one of my main concerns with the dog was her lack of training in regards to cars and her extremely long leash; long enough for her to lunge out after a car and possibly get hit or grazed. The fact that we have young people in the neighborhood who liked the speed, unfortunately, didn't help.
My mom told me today she was hit by a car a little while before I came home last night. She was left out alone in the front yard, once again on a long leash, and lunged out into the street as someone was speeding by. She died instantly. The person didn't stop.
She was a little over a year old. If I can take comfort in anything, it was that it was quick and she didn't suffer.
