One night last year I hit a dog that had escaped out of its yard and ran out in front of me. I wasn't going that fast (maybe 20 mph), but it was enough to throw her about 20 feet down the road. So I stopped the car and got out, and could tell there was damage to the hind quarters. I picked up the animal, and my wife drove us to the pet hospital. Luckily, the dog had tags, and the owner was called. I stayed there a while, and xrays were done which showed the dog had a broken hip. After a while, the owner and a little 7 year old boy showed up. After discussing the dogs injury (broken hip) with the vet, the owner said there was no way he could afford to pay for the surgery. I looked over and saw his sons face just drop when the man said that they needed to have the dog put down. Of course, being the sucker that I am, I asked the vet how much it would cost...and yes, I ended up paying for the operation.

Annie (the dog) is now living a very happy life with her owner and his son. It was one of the best things I've ever paid for in my life.
