Yesterday morning as I was dressing for work, the dogs started barking at squirrels in the wooded lot next to our property and somehow they knocked out one of the wooden slates and escaped from the yard. My neighbor and I jumped in our cars and immediately started our search. She found 3 of them on the other side of the neighborhood standing in a front yard.
I drove quickly to the spot and got out of my car and called.
The old male Kahn, Zuma and the youngster Marc Anthongy came to me. Zuma jumped in the crate I opened and immediately jumped out. Kahn jumped in and stayed. Zuma ran off in another direction and Marc Anthony followed. I called to Zuma and Marc Anthony and the boy came back to me and I picked him up and carried him to the car and placed him inside one of the crates. My neighbor decided to drive down to the highway in front of the neighborhood and found Zane Grey and his mom Sassy standing in a church parking lot and immediately drove back to find me. She went back to the location and saw that Zane Grey had been hit by a car. She stopped her car and put on her emergency lights to stop and slow the traffic. A deputy sheriff's car came up almost immediately and put on her blue lights. All traffic was stopped. It just so happend my dog sitter, Sara, who lives in a different neighborhood was leaving to go to work at the vet clinic down the street. She saw the accident and ran to help. She said Zane Grey was flapping on the highway and thought he was dieing. She called to him and he stood and limped toward her. Another driver, a woman stopped to help. Sera tried to lift Zane Grey and put him in the back of the woman's SUV and when doing so he bit Sera due to his pain.
My neighbor drove back to the neighborhood where I was searching for the dogs and told he what was going on. I immediately left and drove to the highway where I saw Sera and her dad walking down the road. I stopped and asked where I should go and she told me the driver was taking Zane Grey to the clinic and Sassy had jumped in the back of the patrol car with the deputy. When I arrived at the clinic, it appeared the staff and the deputy was trying to figure out how to get Zane Grey out of the SUV. I immediately walked up and ask the driver to open the lift and reach in and lifted him out and carried him inside. One of my vets, Tony followed me to the table. Zane Grey was bleeding and his leg dangeling. It was broken in half. I left him after a quick conversation and walked out to the parking lot and thanked the kind woman, and put a leash on Sassy and took her to my car. Then off I went to find Zuma. Zuma came back to my home with her tong hanging and I called her and she went into the house.
Zane Grey is at the vet and is in stable condition and they will be observing him this weekend. Hopefully there is no damage to his heart of internal organs and Monday they will do surgery to relocate his back leg and put a metal plate to hold in place.
Sorry for the long message, but I am so glad there are "good" people out there and if it had not been for my neighbor, Dorothy, my dog sitter, Sera, the deputy and the stranger who stopped to carry him to the vet, it would have been a worst ending.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I will let everyone know Monday how my sweet Zane Grey is doing. Ch. Senbi's Zane Grey Picture This, JC. also my agility dog.
