Car hit dog

[macc]

Our dog was hit last night, 4th June,around 5.30pm, by a car on the road coming in to Lybster, at Lybster mains. The person driving just hit him and left him for dead, he is a working collie dog and dearly loved pet. My 4 children and ourselves are devastated.
The person who hit our dog, must know that they hit the dog, as it was witnessed and they have lost a part of their car. Which we will get the make and model from.
We are appealing to anyone in the area that may of seen anything else to help us. If you have information please contact us on 01593721443.
We hope our dog is going to pull through, he is being cared for by the vets in Wick.

That's awful! I hope your dog pulls through and the hit and run driver is found.
I got a phone call last night from someone asking if they'd seen a dog around our place at all. I assume this was your dog?
The rate that people drive round that bend to Lybster is ridiculous and it's only time before it's a person that gets hit. They may slow down at the speed signs now but that stretch near the corner is dangerous and it's actually quite frightening to even walk the dogs that way.

Keep us posted on your dog, I hope he's well and home with you soon.

Hi, Hope dog is pulling through, Hope also that you reported to the Police. My folks dog was hit last year by Haster on the Tannach road, when out a walk with my mum. The driver stoped and even took my mum and dog into the vets. It was only a broken leg he had but the driver was realy good to mum over it. Just as well cause I have always got in image of my mum hooffing it up the road after the car if he haddent stopped. I know that it is legal requirment to stop if a dog has been hit, Even though, anyone that hits any animal should stop. They are more than just a pet. they are Family members and should get the same treatmemt as if it was a child the driver had hit.

Was he on a lead?

[corgiman]

whether on a lead or not it is the law that you must report hitting a dog with a vehicle to the police

Many to thanks to everyone for your kind and thoughtful messages, it so comforting for the whole family. Moss, our dear dog, is on the mend and at home as of this afternoon. Thanks to the care of the vets in Wick, he is still very shaky and sore, but cuddled up on his cushion in his corner by the window. We cannot praise the vets enough, we would also like to thank James, Colin and Lauren MacKay, they found our dog and brought him to us. We haven't found out who it was yet, but we do have the missing parts of their sill from their front bumper, and we think we will take this to the police. I agree the speed cars approach Lybster at is ridiculous and many people, myself included use that stretch of road to go for walks. Thanks again for all your good wishes

macc - so glad to hear your dog is on the mend - was horrified to learn of his being hit. Hope he makes as speedy and comfortable a recovery as possible. All kind wishes.

Thanks for letting us know Macc and am delighted that Moss is on the road to recovery.
As Brew said, they are members of the family and it is devastating when something bad happens to them!

Give him a, very gentle, hug from us all!

Isn't it also the law that dogs should be on a lead?


Glad to hear he's on the mend though.
