It’s basically Noah’s Arc heading North on 95

Was walking my dog one morning when a loose dog started follow-leading us. Occasionally it would dart into the road causing cars to stop. As I approached a major intersection, afraid the dog would follow us to the highway, I stopped at a security gate to ask for help, as I hadn’t taken my phone that day. As I asked the guard to call animal control… screeching, crashing, howling.

I look up to see the dog flying through the air onto the grassy shoulder. I was shocked that it got immediately up and came straight up to me for the first time since encountering each other, remarkably with almost no limp. It lays down panting hard and I pet the poor pup, inspecting it.

At first it seems remarkably fine, but slowly signs of internal bleeding show and after about ten minutes, eyes fully dilated. The driver of the truck left the scene, apparently it’s not a hit-and-run because it’s a dog, a mailbox would have been a different matter, 🤮 😤

About a week later, again on my walk, I saw this sign where the pup perished in my arms. Sorry for the sob story, but I wanted to immortalize the deceased and vent my trauma.

Edit: typos and thank yous.

If you have not been, the Mermaid House on Eau Gallie and A1A is awesome. Got a wine flight and charcuterie board.

Actually OP is not Rocket man Mike.

At first, I thought this was a cannon.

Seen on US-1 at Suntree.
