About 25F this morning. Forgot to put on a mid layer but ended up not being an issue for my 30 minute commute.
Unfortunately I was involved in a dog getting hit by a car
I was riding through a residential area. You know the kind; driveways, mailboxes, etc. Speed limit is 20 mph. Still dark out. There was a car approaching the opposite direction. To my left I heard a dog start barking. I could tell it was fairly close but didn't stop to look because I was paying attention to the car coming my direction.
A second or two later the car and I just about passed each other I heard the dog get hit by the car. The car slowed down in advance and I don't think the dog got run "over" per se. But I definetely heard her get hit by the bumper.
I immediately turned around, and made sure I couldn't be of assistance or that she wanted my information. Turns out the owner had three dogs with her. Two small dogs and one large one. It looked like they all had leashes but I think the big one just got away from her, that's the one that was clearly hit.
Such a terrible feeling!
