I called 911 after getting the pup out of the road asking them to send animal control. The dog was in obvious shock and bleeding, but didn't seem to have severe injuries, and kept struggling to get up so I put my golf towel over it to keep it warm and covered it's head to keep it calm. Many people slowed to offer assistance, then one man stopped and when I described the dog to him he referenced the owners information on his phone and called her. A sheriff's deputy came and stayed with us until the owner got there and took the dog to the vet. I am thrilled that the pup will make it, and I am willing to bet he won't try to dig out again.

I happened to be passing when you and another individual were running out onto Buena Vista. I saw the dog struggling and have been wondering whether or not he was seriously injured. I'm glad for this post because it addressed the concerns that I had. I'm sure that if you hadn't acted so quickly the dog might have been in danger of being hit again. Well done.
