The worst thing happened this morning.

[blueballoon]

That's terrible. I'm sorry

[iamgrace]

I am so sorry.

[runforrest]

Poor puppy

[HiC]

Did he ask you to keep the dog on leash when letting them out? Is the yard fenced in? Does he let the dog out without a leash usually?

[Deleted]

Deep breaths. It was an accident. So sorry for all involved.

He always kept her on a leash, so I was doing the same. The yard is not fenced. I should have taken an extra few minutes to find the leash.

[partiallysunny]

I'm so sorry. Terrible shit just seems to keep happening to you. It was just an accident. A very sad, traggic accident.

The owner is going to be angry and looking for someone to blame. That is only natural. Don't take it too hard.

Oh I'm so sorry. How terrible.

Oooooo! I'm sorry that this happened. It's a shitty situation all around.

I'm so sorry. That is so awful. This happens to good people all the time, you are not a bad person.

[Kore]

I'm so sorry This is my worst nightmare.

[gross]

Whut. Come the fuck on with this "it was an accident" and "he'll be looking for someone to blame". I guess it wasn't premeditated but it was 100% preventable and is absolutely your fault. I'm sorry you've had a rough go of things reently, really. But this is unexcusable and every single one of you would be fucking furious. You were responsible for a puppy you didn't know well and you let it into an unfenced area without a leash.

Dude. She feels absolutely horrible and knows she made a mistake. Of course I would be pissed/heartbroken if this was my puppy, but it can't exactly be changed now and there is no point in making her feel even worse about it.

[HiC]

She realizes her lapse in judgement turned out to be a disaster. It's done, shall we kick the shit out of her while she's down? She seems to be doing that on her own. We all make mistakes.....hopefully we learn from them. I'm sure she has.

I'm pretty I admitted that I knew it was my fault in the OP. I can't undo what's already been done, but thank you for making me feel like an even bigger piece of shit.

[eddy]

I am so sorry.
Also jlm don't beat yourself up too much about this. I don't know how to word this without coming off as harsh, but the person left their dog with someone who has two very young children. Error has to be sort of expected because you are busy with other things. . Of course everyone would have wanted a better outcome, but if this were my dog in this situation I would have been more mad if this happened in the care of professionals. If it happened with a friend I would have thought "You know in hindsight this was too much responsibility to ask of a friend, especially one with small children." You are tired, you were waking up with a dog in the middle of the night and a mistake was made. I guess if it were me I wouldn't be mad too long. Shit happens and it sucks. Take care of yourself.

Evee??

JLM, I'm so sorry this happened. The whole situation sucks.

You have been through a lot, I'm sorry that it happened.

You know, the next time you are going through the most unimaginably horrible time in your life, I hope someone kicks you square in your ladybits.

She knows she made a mistake. It is done. She can't go back. She's dealing with the owner as best she can. Get off her dick.

[HiC]

J, I have two dogs that need to always be on leashes. They are sighthounds....they run. I have made the mistake of trusting them a little too much by the open front door. Off they go with me running after them for two miles. It happens. I've been lucky. I know you feel terrible and could undo it if you could. Don't let anybody make you feel worse.

Yes me too. I know that she can't be off leash and every once in awhile I get cocky and make the mistake.Again the only thing that separates your situation from mine is bad luck. My dog could have easily gotten hit the times I have made the mistake. I am her owner and I should know better. Shit happens.

This absolutely. We also have hounds who run and despite our vigilant efforts, they get out of their collars, etc sometimes and bolt. It always makes my heart stop.

This happens to the most responsible owners. It is an honest mistake and it does happen. I understand why you are being so hard on yourself but I hope you can forgive yourself.

[seventeen]

I can't believe everyone saying that it's not your fault. You didn't put a leash on the dog. The dog got away. It's dead. It's your fault, end of story.

This is so unnecessary. She never said it wasn't her fault, and she feels shitty about it. Being a douchecanoe isn't helpful.

No, she made a mistake in the middle of the night and the dog got away. She did not purposely throw the dog at the car. That's the difference between her "fault" and an accident.

[lizard]

Oh come on. She's been through a lot, she feels terrible, so everyone rightly consoles her.

But it was her fault! Had she come on here and said that she was out of town and the person who was watching her PUPPY didn't leash it and it got hit and died you all would be raging against the person responsible to watch her dog.

The AEs could have been less dickish.

Please point to all the posts where people said it wasn't her fault. Please
