Griff is Back! My son's dog was hit by a car last week...

[rustydog]

Last Monday I was with my son, Daughter-in-Law and their dog Griffey looking at a prospective new home for them.
Griff jumped out of the car before the leash could be attached and was hit by a car.

Griff took off like lightning and we could not find her.

I returned Tuesday and helped Son and daughter look for their dog for 9 hours.(they stayed searched several hours longer) We postered a 60 block radius and did receive two tips but no Griff.

All this week I have not been able to sleep and have been down in the dumps at work. Griffey is the coolest dog with a great personality. I refused to believe she was killed by the impact.

Saturday afternoon, I get a call at work from my son. He says, "dad, I have one dirty,smelly dog back!"

I yelled, startling everyone in the Emergency waiting room andI had to run outside to continue the conversation.

Some good samaritan had seen one of the posters and recognized Griffey in a yard with minor bleeding and suffering from exhaustion. He took the dog to a vet THEN called my son!

Today Griffey is on the couch at home being tended to by two very relieved human companions!

What a great way to end a week!

1. I love a happy ending!

My dog is the kind one has to watch before opening the car door for the same reason and I would just die if anything happened to him

12. What a handsome dog...here is my mutt, Buddy, with my kids.

We know Buddy is a Shepard mix, but we don't know what he's "mixed" with. We think he has some Golden Retriever in him -- he is very gentle and great with our kids. He is also very smart. (Too smart, sometimes.)

back with her family. I'll bet she is getting all kinds of love and treats!

17. Yes she is, I called my son last night.

He said she was on the couch eating snacks and taking naps. She walks with a limp, but nothing seems to be broken according to the vet.
