Just in case the person whose car hit an elderly Collie on the Camster road in Roster this afternoon was wondering if the dog was OK ... A neighbour found the injured dog, took him into her garden to make sure he was safe and contacted the owners. The dog was rushed to the Vets by other neighbours and has impact injuries - hopefully he will be OK - but has had to have pain relief and other treatment. A worrying time for his owners.
Shame you didn't stop to see if you could help the dog or try to find the owner and an even greater shame you will not be contributing to the Vets bill .....
Yes I do realise that owners have a responsibility to ensure their dogs are kept under control - but this was an elderly dog living in a quiet rural area he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - he doesn't normally wander.
A number of pets have been injured and and killed on this stretch of road in the last year - Please, please, watch your speed whilst passing through Roster it may save pain and suffering for both pets and owners.
