Nov. 15, 2008 - Dexter
Erika and her mom were on their way back home from shopping. They were in the car, and made a left turn.
The streets in this area were unlit. After making the turn, they saw the people in front of them run over something. They slammed on the brakes, and just in time. The thing was a dog. They pulled over, and got out. Another vehicle was already pulled over, and there was one making a U-turn. "Go get my cell phone!" said Erika's mom. The Caucasian man in the first car was bent over the dog, who was laying on it's right side and the second SUV parked behind them. The first man's wife got out of the car, and cried out in horror. She went back in the car. The Hispanic man in the SUV came over. Erika came back with the phone. Her mom called 911, and the Caucasian man and Erika tried to read the dog tag. The only thing on it was the number for Animal Control and it's license number. They moved the dog off the street.
The dog was a medium sized, gray Schnauzer. He's breathing was shallow and quick. " I ran it over" said the Hispanic. "That means it was run over twice." said the Caucasian. Erika saw the dog was going into shock. She ran to the car and got a picnic blanket out of the back. She put it on the dog and started rubbing it briskly. The adults were talking, and Erika noted the dog's eyes weren't blinking, it's rear was bleeding and blood was coming out of it's mouth. She felt it's ribs, a few were broken. " The 911 people connected me to the Animal Control, they told me the people who own the dog live on 15th street. " said Erika's mom, " he's name is Dexter." " I'll watch the dog while you go find he's owners," said the Caucasian. " I'll follow you," said the Hispanic. They got in car and drove a few houses down. Erika looked for the street number. " Is that it?" said her mom. "There it is!" cried Erika. The lights in the house were on. They knocked on the door, waited, then rang the door bell. Still nobody answered. " The neighbors are home," said Erika, brushing past the Hispanic. She pointed to the house across the street. They crossed over, avoiding a car. Erika knocked on the door. An elderly lady answered the door. " Do you know the people across the street? " asked Erika's mom. The lady said she knew them vaguely and Erika's mom went on to tell on about Dexter being hit, and how he was in unstable condition. The lady's husband came to the door, and said to bring the dog to them. " He was just running around in our front yard a half hour ago and we put him in their yard," said the old lady. The went back to the car, and backed out of the driveway. They ran over something. " Oh no!" said Erika's mom. "It just a mailbox!" said Erika, looking through the window. They drove back to the dog and parked. They walked over to the dog, then the men and Erika picked up the dog, and stuck him in the SUV. Blood dripped into the trunk. Erika's mom was talking to the Animal Control again. " They said to bring him to the shelter," she said. The Caucasian man had to leave, his wife was hysterical. "We'll go tell the neighbors," said Erika's mom. " I'll wait here," replied the Hispanic. Erika and her mom drove back and told the couple. They drove back. "Why does he still have the trunk open?" said Erika's mom, "Oh no." The rolled the window down and the Hispanic walked over. " He's dead." Erika ran to the trunk and felt the pulse. She shook her head. He went to close the trunk, and they drove back to the couples house. They knocked on the door. They both answered. They said to put the body in the garage. The Hispanic backed the SUV up to the garage. The man and Erika picked Dexter up, and lied him on an old rug. They were about to drive away, when Erika said, " They're home." The people were home, they were getting out of their car when Erika and her mom walked up. It was an elderly couple with a daughter in her twenties. " You're dog was hit by a car." The girl burst into tears. They explained what happened to the father. They walked away. They were silent the rest of the way home.
