Update: Owner found after dog hit by car, on the run

6:54 PM: We’re cross-posting this from the WSB Lost/Found Pets page since an injured dog might still be out there somewhere. Ashleigh e-mailed to say:

A black and white Boston Terrier was hit by a car in front of Gatewood Elementary, on Myrtle St at 5 pm. I live right across the street. There were several witnesses to him getting hit, none of whom i was able to get info from. The driver, however, stopped her car, and with a witness tried to find him. After being stuck, he ran south down the alley across the street from the east side of the school campus. I looked for him for almost an hour and a half with no luck. I keep saying “he,” but i am actually not sure of the sex.

If you find the dog, please take it to a vet, Ashleigh requests; if it’s your dog and you want to ask her more about the circumstances – you can reach her at ashleigh_spring@hotmail.com.

8:24 PM: Just heard from Ashleigh: “I found the owner of Louis the Boston Terrier. He is alive, though he does have a broken pelvis. I will report more of his condition when I find out. Thanks, West Seattle!”

    Oh….so sorry to hear. Hopefully he/she isn’t hurt too badly and can get care…most likely terrified.

    If the owner sees this, maybe they could provide an update or picture?

    we’re pulling for ya, louis!
    that’s a terrifying situation for driver, dog and owner ;(
    at least he’s been found and can hopefully get required veterinary treatment to begin recovery.

    SouthSeattleVet is 24 hrs. and emergency hours don’t even start until midnight – goes from $25 office call to $50 at midnight. Phone # is (206)242-8338. So the doggie won’t be in pain all night. Good luck. ~ Thanks Ashleigh!! ~

    Is this Rachel & Ray’s Louis? I have met them thru the Boston Terrier Meetup at Westcrest, they are great people and Louis is a wonderful dog. I hope we get an update on him.
