came home this morning to be greeted by our 3 dogs,one [sid] tebetane only 8 months old at beginning of driveway as they do,so had to feather clutch to drive very slow,barely moving as they would run around the car,but this morning would be different,pulled up to right side of house and thought dogs where away ,so picked up speed and suddenly felt a bump and scream ,and there was on ground ,blood comming fro is mouth,rear wheel when over his head,put him in car and went to vets,about 5 mins away,he died on way,it was the longist drive back l ever hhad,wife was in bits and crying,l wasnt much better,sid was got for wife ,but ended up being my 5 o clock shadow, follow me everywhere,when l come home from work,would go to bed and he would sleep with me,if l went to toilet,there he was,if l was on coutch watching tv,he would sleep on my chest,he was specilal,going over all day what l should have done or could have done.brought him home and buried him in front garden where he would look out at everything,as we live on side of hilly ground and have good view of sourrounding areas.good start to weekend
 
hard to put in words
grow on farm when l was a kid and used to seeing aniamls dye
as we dont have kids,our dogs are our kids
would be bad enough if someone else kill him ,but to do it your self is something else,we all gutted,wife hasn't stoped crying,cryed my self
house wasn't the same today,felt empty and quiet,even with other dogs,he brought life to the place,wont be the same
 
cheers all
wife taking it very hard
on 12 hour shift and its quiet which is worse,wife wanted me to take day off,couldnt get anyone to cover at short notice,not in mood for work and pritty gutted,didnt think l take it this hard,sid had more of hold on me that l thought
 
Christ Jaysus I can't imagine what I'd feel like if I did that to our dog, it's almost like a child to us. An unfortunate mistake indeed :(

Take it easy and good luck.
 
So sorry for you and your wife's loss. I have a English Springer Spaniel, and i couldn’t even begin to imagine life without him. May he RIP and you in time come to terms with the knowledge it was an accident.
Sincere condolences.

thanks all
some may find it hard to take in that you feel a loss of dog
the little guy ,was specially,and is still,some dogs have more something special than others,sid was a rare type of dog,wife just called me and house is dead with him not chasing and playing and chewing you laces on shoes,shes putting away his things so l dont see them in morning when l come home from work.l feel guilty at moment at what l could have done,it like we lost a kid,l know time will sort it out,at moment ,its far away for us,any place we go fora while will remind us of him,at beach ,he run away from water in fear of getting wet,will miss him sleeping on my chest when watching tv and chewing at my hand or shoes,far well my loved friend,will still talk to you sid when near your spot
 
RIP Sid. Awful way for a pet to die. But you have to remember that it's no one's fault, it was an unfortunate accident.

I'm lucky that my pets have died naturally (well my first dog was put down but that was to prevent her suffering). It must feel really bad for a pet to die in an accident :(
