Had a champion English Springer (tri-color) that wandered when hunting. He’d stand up on pheasants but get easily distracted without ^constant^ work/birds. Great dog and the kids really loved him.
Went into the road and got hit. I still think of him as a true champion spaniel. But...
C’est la vie.
My deepest sympathy.
Husband is still hurting over a dog of his childhood hit by a motorcycle. When my wolfhound died, I dealt with it by writing a short story about him in a shopping mall food court, while crying my eyes out.
I do wish Trump had a dog, but I can understand germophobes. Bush’s dogs were one of his strong points for me. Still remember Johnson lifting his dog by the ears.
