A Sad Animal Story

Last Friday as I was going home via jeep, I saw a dog. It was in the middle of the road, hesitant as to where to go. Then I saw a Pajero on normal speed. I kinda hoped that the Pajero would slow down because of the dog but to my dismay, it did not. After the Pajero passed by, a horrific scenario caught my eye... The dog... lying on the road... with blood on its mouth... paws waving as if asking for help...I assume the poor dog's life didn't last long that fateful night. Shocking isn't it? I really felt sad afterwards.

The next day, as our jeep passed by the murder scene, I saw 2 dogs in the middle of the road, on the exact spot where the dog got hit-and-run. They were sniffing the spot and then I thought that maybe they're the tropa. The nice thing is our jeepney driver slowed down unlike that heartless vehicle. I was touched by the company. Maybe they're also sad that their buddy is gone.

I wouldn't take the reason that the vehicle didn't see the dog coming.... The Pajero had lights!!! and the dog didn't speed up towards it. THE DOG WAS SIMPLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!! Hindi man lang siya nagdahan-dahan... Of course at this point we couldn't cry over spilled milk. In other countries (i.e. USA), the driver would pull over, bring the injured animal to the vet... or the police would arrest the driver for reckless driving. Anyway, I just hope that people would be more careful while driving... especially to the animals crossing the street.
