my loss

a few years ago I had a black lab named Bailey he was my first son, I adored him he was my life. One night when I was taking him out to go do his thing he got off of his leash and I witnessed him get hit by a drunk driver. I ran into oncoming traffic to get him and the woman behind the man that hit him stopped to help me. We tried with all our strength to lift him into her car but I was so distraught that I couldn't do it, then out of nowhere a car full of College boys stopped to help and one of them took his coat off and put Bailey on it and put him into the womans car. She drove me to the emergency vet and they told me that he had severe brain damage and that they could keep him alive but he wouldn't be able to function. He was only 1 so I felt that it wasn't fair to him to live that way so I had to let him go. They had to pick me up off of the floor and take me home. A few days later a friend of mine was picking me up from work at a daycare, he had his coat in the passenger seat and I asked him to move it and he told me to so when I did I picked it up and there was this adorable face staring back at me, I screamed so loud that the girls that I worked with came running out to check on me. By then I was crying hysterically, right then I knew that his name was going to be Saint because he was was my saint and savor for the loss that I was still feeling for my first four legged son. And that is how Saint became my Big Boy, he will always be my angel no matter what! And not a day goes by that I don't think about my Bailey...
