Dear Unknown Dog Owner

Dear Dog Owner,

Thanks to either lack of responsibility, or a clever dog that dug its way out of its pen or escaped out the front door, your dog is now dead. Why? Because your dog was loose and running around in the dark where employees of a very large company exit their parking lot. Your unsuspecting dog was hit by my unsuspecting husband. He proceeded to call the police, who wouldn't do anything about it. He then called another branch of the government, but wasn't helped. Only a half hour later, long after your dog had expired, was he able to get someone to say they'd pick the body up "sometime the next day". They wouldn't take his personal information, telling him "This happens all the time."

Your dog had a collar on it, but no tags, so he couldn't call YOU. He was devastated; he hopes that if you had children, they can find out what happened. He was so upset when he got home, he finished off the bottle of wine we had in the fridge and went to bed early.

So, thanks, dog owner. And your dog thanks you. And I'm sure your children will thank you, too (if you have children). You just ruined everyone's day.

No love,
Fellow dog owner
