A sad night in our neighborhood tonight. The neighborhood is laid out like a large circle, with spokes leading to cul-de-sacs. Everyone walks after dinner - and half own dogs, which are mostly on leash or too old to break out of a walk. A couple of folk have untrained dogs that are notorious for escaping from the house and running through the streets. Neighbors are used to them and catch them to return them.
Tonight, one of these escapee dogs, Raven, who lives with a disabled lady that uses a scooter to walk her, escaped and was hit by a mini-van and killed. I can't count the number of times I had captured & returned Raven to her mom. She was just an overgrown pup with too much energy, and her mom was not physically able to train her - her kids gave her Raven for company.
A very sad situation ....
