conv: Our puppy got out of his leash and ran toward the busy road Our puppy wiggled out of his leash. He ran toward the busy road and was hit by a car. It was awful Oh god_comma_ I am so sorry. Is he okay now? Sadly_comma_ no. He passed away at the vet a few hours later. I hate to hear that. It is so hard to lose a pet. I hope you are doing okay through this.
