Tommy

He got knocked down yesterday. Hit by a car. Of course the car did not bother to stop. Intan ran to me, telling me to hurry.

He was still alive, convulsing, when I rushed to help Janet, standing in the middle of the road, next to him. Moved him to the side. Kept talking to him. I felt his pulse, it was still beating, but a few beats later... while Janet ran to get her car, to rush him to the vet, I felt it stop. Dissipate. Halt.

I still kept talking to him, but then I saw his tongue grow pale, and when I felt it, it was cold. His eyes had this glazed over look, and did not respond.

We still loaded him into her car. At least, we would still have to make sure he really was gone, and not in a coma or in shock. Also, we could at least give him a proper burial.

And so it was. He was probably cremated today.

I named him Tommy. He did not have a name in life, but in death and for eternity, He shall be known as Tommy. A strong boned, sturdy, handsome, black and tan dog.

Rest in peace Tommy.

DOG CATCHING COMPETITION???

WHAT NEXT??? And they have MONEY to pay for TORTURE!!!

Please please, I implore any and all of you, to write to our media and help stop this eventually.

Dogs don't deserve to suffer. They mean us no harm. It is us, humans who threaten and harm THEM. And it's the same with any animal.

Also, go to http://animalactivist.com/actguide1.asp to familiarise yourself with being an activist. You can also write to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). I have already.

They are our only hope.
