Our puppy died in a car accident today

I just needed to share this, I feel absolutely heartbroken. He had just turned one.
He’s always had loads of energy and more than once tried to sneak out when someone was coming in through the front door, but recently he had calmed down quite a bit and wasn’t doing that anymore.
We still always tried to make sure he couldn’t run out, but today our kids had some friends over, one of them must have opened the front door and our puppy escaped. Ran straight onto the road and got hit.
My husband was at home at the time, he ran out, several people tried to help. There even happened to be a vet driving past, she stopped and tried to help too, but it was too late.
I’m really struggling to process it. I’m trying to be strong for our kids, but I’m devastated and can’t stop crying.

Namechanged

we lost our beautiful spaniel a few days ago and the guilt is killing me as a series of events happened that were preventable

she ate something and went into complete shock and had to be put into a coma but she kept fitting when brought out and she would never recover from the damage

im so heartbroken and she was just a baby, we have her mum which is helping a bit

only dh and I know what happened as it’s too traumatic to share with the children as they will feel the guilt too

i just wanted to write it down

Oh I’m so sorry for your loss! What a beautiful dog ❤️
I can totally sympathize, the guilt is awful. I feel like we’ve failed our puppy.
One of my husband’s friends is a vet and she lost one of her own dogs to an accident too. She is so experienced with animals and yet sometimes it just takes a couple of seconds for a horrible accident to happen.
Many many hugs to you @Tiffibun , I really feel your pain ❤️

I'm so sorry this happened. Honestly it's a matter of seconds and could happen with any puppy. They move so fast and have no sense.

You were just very very unlucky. Please be kind to yourself and take time to grieve and feel all of those feelings you are having.

My thoughts are with you. The driver must feel awful too. Take care.

Thank you so much everyone ❤️
It‘s the first time I started a thread on this forum (I‘ve been commenting under a different name though).
I wasn’t sure whether I should do it at first, but I‘m really glad I did. Your kind words have helped loads and it’s amazing how good virtual hugs can feel 🙂
