corrie Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Here is the LINK Pedestrian killed helping dog at Hillside Staff writer From: Herald Sun April 22, 2010 7:07AM A WOMAN in her 20s has been killed after stopping by the side of a road to help a stray dog. The woman was hit on the Melton Highway, about 9pm last night. "Police believe the woman may have stopped on the side of the road to help a dog when a car hit the dog and then her," a police spokeswoman said. "The woman was found by passers by who stayed with her until paramedics arrived." Police are interviewing a man and urge anyone on the highway at the time to call triple zero. Just tragic.

Hit and run. ;) But apparently police have now questioned the man that was driving the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantis Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 RIP good samaritan & doggy. I guess I have been lucky twice helping an injured animal. The first was when a dog fell off the back of a ute, I managed to stop before hitting him, I went & picked him up & took him to the Vet which luckily was only 10 minutes away, the dog survived thankfully. The second time, I was in peak hour traffic at 8am in the morning on Victoria Parade, Melbourne, the car in front of me hit a possum, I stopped again & went & picked him up & put him in my car, he didn't have any signs of blood, or feel pain, so I took him to work with me, I kept the little bugger for 2 months, luckily I lived in the hills, so when I thought he was OK, I left the bathroom window open, the next day he was gone, but he came around for a feed every night after I got home from work. When you see an injured animal you don't think about the risk to yourself, you are only concerned with the injured animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Majesty Dogmad Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I was so sad when I read this, she was obviously a very decent and caring person - the world needs more people like her, not less. A real loss. RIP sweet lady and poor lost dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
