No they did not put her down. The car that failed to stop after hitting her did a fine job of that. There was no intended sarcasm in my previous post at all - the animal control folks did a great job and were very helpful, even opening the facility when they were supposed to be closed to help out.

With that said, it does suck that we lost another dog this past week - we had to put one down about 2 months ago (cancer and a lot other more minor things) so we went from 2 great dogs to 0 in about 2 months time. In addition, some local middle school kids saw it happen and tried to help... but there wasn't anything to be done. These kids later found out that my wife teaches at their school so we got to hear all about it from eye witnesses.

I will be the first to admit that our dog should not have gotten out (and hadn't gotten out since a month after we moved here over 2 years ago), but to do a hit and run in front of kids is just low.

It wasn't doggy jail - it was doggy morgue.

And the animal control folks were great. Didn't want to be there, but they did good.

That was my gut feeling. Thanks for confirming.

Well, we had an issue with out dog and I will be going to spring her from doggy jail tomorrow and I am curious if animal control employees (officers?) are considered peace officers?
