Seen a flying dog
13 years ago
I've seen a flying dog on my way home today. Part of the car's light shattered in the crash. The dog was howling some while flying past me, but he did get back on his feet, although he kept limping.
There had been loud, aggressive yelling for a minute or two before that, I soon figured that it musta been the dog's owner. Couldn't see anything though because there was a van blocking my view. Then suddenly a loud *THUMP!* and screeching wheels, and I saw the dog flying past me. Half a minute later, the dog's owner came storming towards me, yelling at me, "WHERE IS THE DAMN DOG?!" He didn't seem to care much about the pet's health, he was just mad.
All that had happened in front of a police station, even. The people in the car set up breakdown triangles around their damaged car, and repeatedly tried to get some officer to come out, but no use. When eventually an officer did come out, he just waved his hands, saying that it didn't interest him one bit, and he went back in again.
The dog owner was meanwhile trying to go away, dragging his limping dog with him. One of the drivers tried to ask him if his dog was alright, and stop him to make a photo of the limping dog, or maybe also have the dog owner testify to the police as to what had happened. The dog owner just yelled at him, "FUCK OFF!", and stuff like that. The owner of a tanning salon came out because she felt bothered by the noise, and probably because the driver looked Oriental, she bellowed at him to leave the gentleman with the dog alone, or else she'd call the police. So just because the guy looked Oriental, she was obviously thinking that he was trying to mug the dog owner or something.
The driver was stunned at that loud thread, while the dog owner tried to disappear into a house entrance, and the driver hurried after him. Then I tried to explain to the tanning studio owner what had happened, and that it had been the dog owner who'd been the one who'd been aggressive from the start, even before the accident. At first she refused to believe me, because she said she knew the dog owner and "what a nice man" he was, but when she heard of the accident, she seemed shocked.
After maybe 5-10 minutes, the dog owner returned from the house, without the driver. The tanning studio owner started baby-talking to the dog, asking what had happened to him, then asking the owner why he'd just ran away instead of taking the dog right to the vet down the street in the other direction. The owner was less agressive now, but obviously close to tears, sobbing, "Yeah, that's where I'm going...but those *STUPID IDIOT FREAKS* never *LET ME!*"
He was obviously confused and in shock, which was why he'd went home in agitated confusion first rather than right to the vet. And again, he'd been aggressively yelling even before the accident, before the car was even anywhere near, so much so that I'd originally thought that some drunken hooligans were having a fight. I wouldn't be surprised if he had been beating and kicking the dog while on the pavement, then the dog ran away and he tried to make it come back by yelling even more, the dog eventually ran on the street and was hit by the car. It'd also explain why he didn't want anything to do with the police and met any mention of a testimony on his side with even more aggression towards the people in the car (interestingly enough never saying that they were responsible, he just generically insulted them for talking to him after the accident), even now that he was talking to the tanning studio owner.
