Not truck related but an issue that some of you guys may relate to im sure.
This morning on my way home from getting the cruiser washed and driving 20kmh a small puppy was on the side road and whilst I noticed him and drove towards the other side of the road it ran out and heart breaking I had clipped it in the head and within minutes it died.
First time this has happened personally, the owner soon came out and it appeared the workers having their hands full couldn't close the gate behind them and aided to this tragic death that I'm so upset happened.
Other vehicles stopped behind me and offered help but its was so hard for those two minutes where the dog suffered I struggled to watch!!
One passer by a guy who I know knew the owner who had recently had an operation himself being unwell was also devastated. Felt terribly bad sick to my stomach feeling helpless to be able to do anything.
Having spoken to the owner I'm looking to find another puppy for him being the least of what I can do but I know the devastation will live with us both something sadly we will share from this tragedy.
Unfortunately here in northern Cyprus dogs and cats have had little attentions for much too long and although some strides are being taken thankfully now its still huge issue here sadly.
