My husband saw this happen and has given a statement to the police. He thinks it was a white vauxhall combo van with a small logo on. So very sad, RIP doggy, so sad that you were running free

Poor dog. Disgusting to think that they just left what would most probably have been a much loved pet to die like that. Hope they find out who did it.

Big thanks to those kind people that stayed with the dog.

 

Run free at Rainbow bridge doggy

It's sad but of course if you look at it another way it's irresponsible of the owner to let it escape or run around off the lead on a road - if it had attacked somebody rather than got run over I'm sure we'd be hearing more about this aspect.

More than insensitive. Against the law to hit a dog & not report it.

The driver has 24 hours in which to report it, we do not know if he has, or indeed hasn't.

It is against the law, it's fairly sick that someone would run the poor things down and not even bother to stop and see if it was ok.

It's not great, but some dogs can be escape artists - they can find a way out of places that people have made 'dog-proof' especially if they're diggers.

 

My parents went through 3 different types of fencing in their garden to keep their dog contained.

Every time the boundary was 'made good' it'd only take a few days before it was breached again.

They lived in the countryside tho, so no-one else got bothered by him.
