['My dog managed to slip out the door yesterday and ended up going straight for the road and got ran over. I feel so horrible.']
Holy cow, that's terrible. I really feel for you. My dad had that happen to him and his dog when he was young, and he's told me about it as a warning to make sure I'm safe with ours. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope you get through the grieving process okay.
My dog was ran over yesterday after sneaking outside.
