We are devastated. Yesterday afternoon at 3pm my wife and dog were struck by a truck while crossing a crosswalk in a school zone at a 4 way stop. My wife was taken to emergency and she has an injured leg. It's not broken, badly sprained and possible torn ligaments around her knee. We have a followup in a week.
Our beautiful little dog Maggie didn't make it. I can't even begin to express how I feel. I feel empty and numb. I was there when it happened but I was in my car.
Every day we park in the same spot to get my son from school. My wife takes Maggie out for a short walk. I was on my phone then looked up and I saw commotion at the crosswalk. Right then I knew something bad happened.
When I ran over my wife was on the ground. She was OK but in pain from her leg. My dog was dead. I just can't believe this happened. I don't know how this happened at a cross walk, 4 way stop in a 30k zone. There's no reason for it. None. My wife is always super careful when crossing the street. I just don't know what to do. It sounds cliche but that little dog was like our child. She was extremely intelligent, and very affectionate. I couldn't sleep at all last night. My dreams were filled with images of our little dog.
Rest in peace Maggie, we love you. It's just so damned hard.

Oh my gosh, I'm so very sorry to hear this. What awful news. I'm so glad your wife is going to be okay, but just heartbroken to hear about your Maggie.
My condolences to all of you.
