Default Just lost a dog.. and more

This past Sunday, I recently lost a pet of mine. It was actually my mom's, but it was sort of everyones. She has cried a ton and still feels so bad about it. She would never let the dog outside because he would not stay around the house, but would run around like crazy. Sunday morning, her husband let him out for a few minutes (along with his dog) and he fed the cat while they were outside. He soon called them back in and Baby-J (the dog's name) came in and then just sort of fell to the ground. He wasn't sure what was wrong with the dog.. as it continued to try to get up and go, but couldn't. He tried calling a Veterinarian, but nobody was up.

Within 15 minutes, the dog died. We aren't exactly sure what happened, but we think he was hit by a car. The only thing is that there were no marks or anything (besides a small bit of blood that we couldn't find where it came from). He didn't bark or make any noises.. it was really sad.

Does anyone know what could have potentially happened besides a car hitting it? You would think the dog would have barked and made a lot of noise, and we would have heard a car do something. They (mom and step-dad) firmly believe that he was hit, but I am not 100% convinced that it wasn't something that could have happened while he was running crazy outside.

Just wanting to see if any of you have any other ideas?

Thanks

I am very sorry for your loss

There could have been several things that happened. Hit by car is certainly a possibility since often times the majority of damage is internal and cannot be seen on the outside. Another very likely possibility is poisoning, either intentional or accidental. Rat poison and antifreeze are two very potent toxins that are lethal to dogs. Another possibility is a snake bite or insect bite that caused an anaphalactic shock response.

I hope that your parents will choose to either use a tie out or fence their yard in the future to prevent this tragedy from happening again.

Sounds like the dog had a heart attack...

Sorry for your loss, I lost my shnauzer to lymphoma cancer over a month ago and I still find myself crying over it. Pet's are like children that never grow up and loosing them hurts like hell.

I am very sorry for your lost. It is not that easy to lose a pet, a friend perhaps.
But you will get over it, I know. Sometimes you just have to pay attention to other things to forget those you do not consider, "others"

I am sorry for your loss. Since you are sad, I want to share this poem for you by Noah M. Holland


A Little Dog Angel

High up in the courts of heaven today
a little dog angel waits;
with the other angels he will not play,
but he sits alone at the gates.
"For I know my master will come" says he,
"and when he comes he will call for me."

The other angels pass him by
As they hurry toward the throne,
And he watches them with a wistful eye
as he sits at the gates alone.
"But I know if I just wait patiently
that someday my master will call for me."

And his master, down on earth below,
as he sits in his easy chair,
forgets sometimes, and whispers low
to the dog who is not there.
And the little dog angel cocks his ears
and dreams that his master's voice he hears.

And when at last his master waits
outside in the dark and cold,
for the hand of death to open the door,
that leads to those courts of gold,
he will hear a sound through the gathering dark,
a little dog angel's bark.

First, I m so sorry for your loss. I understand your feelings and its hard time for you. I think when your dog cross the road then a car hit him and he died. I think this is the main reason for hitting him.
Second reason you already told he barked loudly and make noise then car hit him. I know you loved your dog. Dogs are like our family members and we can't forget them. They are our best friends. Sorry again for your dog.
