Heartless
I was at Lygon St, in an Italian restaurant that went by the name Trevi along with a budd of mine Tim..
So there we were talking and chatting away about things that wouldnt make sense to an average human being with an average understanding of crapology.
Then Suddenly...
well it didnt happen all of a sudden, but suddenly we heard a voice from the back ally. he said "fluffy...fluffy...FLUFFY!" (or was it huffie we couldnt tell), so i glanced back and see this cute little dog. black in colour with a golden underbelly. looked like a spitz cross german shepard but had the size little bigger than a chihuahua, happily trotted out of the alley. behind him was a man around his mid 20s walking out in a pace slightly faster than usual. he was calling out the dogs name. louder and louder everytime. obviously this dog as "escaped" from him usual homee and is now consumed in the huge new world full with dazzling night lights from restaurants and bars...and cars.
The owner started to jog, concerned about his dog, trying to recover it quickly, then i noticed behind him was another dog, same in breed, almost an identical twin, tagging along.
the dog got alarmed and ran across the street, he passed the coming traffic and into the going side, and i thought to myself, "geeze is that dog street wise?" and jsut as that thought passed through my head, there was a huge bang.
...followed by a prolonged in-canine(in-human) cry... i stood up and peered thru the transparent glass surrounding the cafe i was in and saw, a red hatchback dragging the poor puppy a good 5 meters by its front bumper. Fluffy (or Huffie) went under the car, with all four wheels missing it completely (thank Anubis). but the fact that it was dragged a distance and the shock upon impact left the dog utterly shaken. it was screaming. the screams were so pitiful and cold even now, after more than 12 hours of that incident i have a chill down my spine, ready to shed tears for this creature.
the owner gave a loud cry of grief and put both his hands behind his head as he ran to his dog, still squirming in pain in the middle of the road..he quickly picked him up and ran back to where he came from.
the second dog however, upon hearing the screams of his mate, was alarmed and started to run as well, at this point i would die if i hear another wail like the one i just heard, so i ran to the 2nd dog, he was also shaken. the man ordered me "pick him up pick him up", an order i was ready to obey. i kneeled infront of the 2nd dog and stretched out both my arms and said in a voice as soft as i could "come here boy, come here". the dog came to me at 1st then when he was about an inch away from my fingers he darted off again. by now 4-5 other pedestrians came to the rescue, and routed the dog to a girl. apparently it was the man's girlfriend (wife). the dog hopped into her arms.. all of our hearts sank back to where they should be. i asked "is she alright?" the man jsut said "shes dragged bad..." and united with his partner then went back to the house.
later they emerged again from the alley with one of the dogs in his arms. standing a good distance away from it, i could see her trembling in her owners arms. with ears tucked back and watery eyes. they both took off in the opposite direction and dissapeared into the night.
the worst part of this is, the red hatchback that dragged the dog with the car's front bumper,did not stop upon hitting the dog. he/she did not even SLOW DOWN. the driver's morality and sanity is put into question by all the witnesses there. i myself sittin across the street could hear the loud bang, we need not say the driver of the vehicle.
we all know, the driver will rememeber that night, for he had hit a creature and know not of its fate. he will live the rest of his/her life, in remorse
