It's things like this that make me question humanity sometimes. If someone could willingly hit and injure and animal and drive away without any concern, what can they do to another human being?

This story made me gasp out loud and I hurt so much for you and your Buddy. He is so very fortunate to have a caring family that took him to the vet and had him seen to. I'm so sorry this happened and please keep us updated. Did the vet x-ray his legs? Was anything broken?

 

My dear..he is fine..nothing broken, we thank god for that. But to see our child suffer , the pain is in us. Didnt took X-ray according to the vet he is fine. he can walk normally.But the moement his leg covered up with blood, that was unbearable. He is strong! He got bang and he stood up and walk home. I am so proud of my boy.

 

Well, I would trust your vet. But if you notice him limping or favoring a leg, or if there's any swelling, take him in. It would be wonderful if he got through all this with just a few cuts - although that one on his knee looks so deep.

He sounds like a strong dog, and I am sure he will heal beautifully. I can understand how difficult it is seeing our dogs in pain. But he has his family. Spoil him rotten while he recovers!

 

I'm so sorry you had to witness that - and your poor Buddy. Thank goodness he is okay. He definitely deserves a little spoiling and extra loving today.

 

And humans are supposed to be the intelligent species, makes me wonder sometimes.

Hope Buddy continues to be well, and the unknown driver gets what is coming to them

 

Buddy

Thank God your Buddy is alright.
Thank you, God!!

 

Did he need stiches? That last picture on your blog of his left rear leg looks like quite a laceration requiring stiches. Applying ice for 20 minutes a few times a day will help with swelling. I disagree with no xrays. It's very difficult to tell after all your dog has been through that no internal damage was caused. Perhaps a second opinion is in order. What about keeping him on a short leash when your dog goes out to do his business?

 

Ohh my.....Thank Goodness Buddy is ok! He must have had angels looking out for him....soooo glad he wasn't more seriously injured from the accident.
Lots of hugs and gentle head rubs for buddy today.

 

Thank You all for your concern The vet told us is just external bruises, we will monitor his movement along his recovery.I was thinking if he is not alright we will take him to another vet for better examination.

All my friends knew Buddy involved in this nasty accident. They drop by for a visit and one of them even got Buddy a soft pillow to comfort him.

He saw his girlfriend next door and he refused to go out for a play as well.

Yeah! Buddy has an angel with him. We believe is our Pomeranian who passed away 2 weeks back on the same accident. Thank You Lord and Sparky for guarding him.

 

Im glad nothing more serious happened to Buddy. My prayers are with Buddy as he recovers...

 

Just remember the golden rule, what goes around comes back around and it's always 10 fold. We may not be there to see the consequences of their actions to themselves but we may relax in the knowledge that it does happen.

 

I am so sorry for you. All I can say is Karma.

 

I'm so glad that Buddy will be okay.

 

Your poor baby!!!!

When ever someone hits and runs (no matter if they hit something living or an car or mailbox) I always wonder if they are intoxicated.

 

Thank You all...Thank you for all your prayers.

Last night Buddy insisted to sleep beside our bed.And this morning,both hubby and I felt so tired and lack of sleep. Having terrible headache. We saw Buddy climbing up to our bed and it wasnt like usual him. It too him so long to climb up. He wanna be close to us.

 

So sorry Buddy was hit by a car. Very glad he had and angel watching over him. I will pray he continues to improve. Love and spoil him!!!

 

Hey all mommies and daddies ....i would like to ask..once his wounds fully recovered..will his fur grow?

 

I should think so. Flora had surgery a while back that required her entire left leg to be shaved off, and the fur grew back just fine. I think your Buddy will be back to looking handsome and furry before you know it! How is he today?

 

Buddy

Thank God Buddy is alive. Don't know if I would have him out in front, again.
Can you take him in the back?
Yes, his fur will grow back.

 

Nothing surprises me!.
We had that happened,in OUR own courtyard.Bloody tourist came in and the tyre caught the skin of our dackshund's head.
She was 15 and 1/2 blind!.
I didn't see it,happen but they never stopped!.Sheh ad a nasty gash,on the head but she was saved.
I'm glad yr boy is ok but the gash,on the leg is nasty!.Did they stitch it up or not enough skin?.
Glad they were no broken bones.L

 

Poor guy, please give him a healing hug from me.

 

THank you all,

No stitches on him...he is healing fast! he is back to himself. Will post out more pictures on his recovery. Even got a video on him!

 

Glad to hear he's doing well!

 

Poor Buddy!
LauraBella has a good point - the crazy driver was probably impaired in some way, or didn't have insurance....something he's not proud of. The important thing is that it probably didn't have as much of an impact on Buddy as you.

Let's hope that his recovery is quick and uneventful. Meanwhile, can you put a little fence in front of your property to define it from the road? At least that way a driver will hit the fence first and scratch up his precious car.

Give Buddy lots of hugs for me.

 

I'm so glad to hear that Buddy is ok!

Those accidents make me cautious about where I'm living now (in the country) because we have beet trucks flying down gravel roads. Yesterday I was installing a battery in a car, Packer and Lambeau disappeared. I went searching for them called for them countless times before they came running to me. My relative who owns this farm looks at me and says "they'd come home when they were ready, your just too overprotective of them, let them be dogs and run" - I couldn't believe the comment, especially since she has her own dog. I'll continue to be overprotective of them.
