I have two questions for my fellow canines.
Most people assume that the dog was hit by a car and left to die.
Many, however, are victims of an unthinking owner who had the dog riding unsecured in the back of a pickup. If the impact of hitting the road doesn't kill it, oncoming traffic probably will. There are other hazards to consider. Most dogs love the feeling of wind blowing past their ears at 60 mph, but that wind can seriously irritate mucous membranes and blow pieces of grit into the animal's eye, possibly causing permanent damage. Insects or flying debris can also lodge in the nasal passages or get sucked into the windpipe.
