So this is a sad post of the pet thread.
I was on my way home from the gym last night when a car ahead of me started laying on its horn. There was a few cars between us, so I thought either someone wasn't turning fast enough and someone got pissed, or that they were being assholes and not pulling over before honking for someone to come out of a house. It went on for a good minute or two, and I thought maybe someone had a seizure or something and just landed on the horn, which was far fetched, but I pulled over to the side and was getting ready to step out of the car and see if I could do something when I saw a dog in the road. I thought at first maybe it was a coyote, but, whatever it was I wanted to get it out of the road. So I started walking towards it, and after my first step towards it, someone coming from the opposite direction hit the poor thing head on, and didn't stop. She spun across the road and landed directly in front of my car. I ran over to the dog and she was blinking and still alive so I was petting her and telling her that she would be okay, and a few seconds later she passed on. I stayed there petting her in the road for a good thirty minutes before the cops made me get out of the road. It's a criminal offense in connecticut to hit a dog and run, so I'm really hoping they catch the person. I don't understand how you can KNOW you hit something, and leave. It's not just a dog; she's part of someones family. The owners came to the scene just as I was leaving and it was fucking heartbreaking.
