My morning started out like many others. I needed to drop some packages off at the post office, but the one by my house was closed for the weekend, so i decided to drive to the other one not far away.
I was driving down the road, when all of a sudden a small white and tan dog darted out into 4 lanes of traffic. I thought "OMG" and started to slow down when suddenly this big f250 pulling a boat smacks right into her, and i watched in horror as she did flips under the truck, and then the boat trailer. They never stopped
I slammed on my brakes, threw my hazards on, jumped out to stop traffic from going past her while i approached her laying in the road. She looked dazed I must have come into focus for her, because she jumped up, and ran off in the directions she'd be trying to go. Over a set of railroad tracks and into the tree line.

(3,425 posts)2. I love to hear stories about how people will go the extra mile
to rescue an animal.
I rescued a cat once, only there was no effort on my part. I went to the Beauty shop one day, many years ago, and there was a cat hovering around the entrance, When I came out, the cat was still there and she had grown more desperate, meowing loudly and pacing up and down. The receptionist said she had been there all day and did not know what to do about it.
I picked her up and put her in the back seat of my car, thinking I will sort this out later. Her new name was Marmalade and she lived out the rest of her life (about twelve years) with us.
