Thread: Close call

Heading home after work today feeling great as I just had a win (another story)
3 streets from home.
Turned left at a roundabout, aout half way through I saw a ball come out from behind a hedge on the righthand side of the road. Instantly hit the brakes (thinking where there's a ball there's a kid who kicked it.Right?!!)
Preoccupied with watching for the kid when out of the corner of my eye I spotted something on the lefthand side of the road swerved the best I could only to hit it with the back left wheel.

It was at this time I thought the worst and was ****ting bricks ( **** I JUST HIT A KID!!!!!!)

I looked in the rearview ....nothing
Side mirrors........... nothing


I got out to see a dog trying to get up of the road.

Sphincter muscle relaxed about this time.

Tried to do the right thing asked a few of the neighbours if it was their dog or if they had seen it before. nothing.

Kid who kicked the ball got to watch it first hand as the wheel went over the dog. Spent most of the time telling me how great I wasn't for hitting the dog, must have looked different from outside then it did behind the wheel. I told the kid he was lucky it wasn't him instead because had I have had seen the dog it would have been him under the right hand wheel.

The dog didn't belong to anyone so I thought do the right thing and take it to the Vet get it checked out and it maybe microchipped. WRONG!!!!

THE ****ING THING BIT ME!!!!!

Only fair in hind sight I guess, after all I did run it over.

Dog laid around dragging its back legs for a while then out of no where it jumps up and runs off like nothing happened. Couldn't be sure what sort of dog it was a it's mother was probably the town bike. Although I will say after it's proformance, I think it may have been an Italian Silky looking for a penalty kick.

DO I GET RED CARDED FOR THAT LAST BIT???

You did well mate, a dog is far better to hit than a kid. Matt
