    Just thought I'd post this here. Last night, a small black terrier / collie x was hit by a car and badly injured in Maynooth. He is a young, entire male, short black coat, wearing a multi-coloured collar with a bone design. No identification, chip or tag. About 10kg in weight.
    This poor guy was brought to a local vets at 2am for emergency treatment, but had unfortunately had sustained very severe injuries, and didn't make it. If anyone knows of a missing dog in the area, please PM me for more details. I'm aware that owner may not come forward, but just on the off-chance...
    And please let this be a lesson learned for all those who don't chip / tag their dogs.

    This is just something about the Irish psyche that I just don't get, I can't understand how people just leave their dogs roam and expect that they will just come home at night time :confused:

    My dog NEVER gets outside our gate unless she is with one of us and if she went wandering I would be beside myself with worry.

    Why do people do this? Loose dogs are a danger to themselves, can cause RTA's like this one, can get stolen or lost. It BAFFLES me, it really does.
