people are cruel

So I am driving to go play some golf at the Athletic Campus of the school I work for, upon pulling in to the 300 acre complex I see what looks like a car run over a cat. I immediately pull over to check on the animal because the car kept going. Just as I am getting out I realize that is in fact the little cutie above being dragged by the owner, the leash attached to the bumper. I freak out and jump out of my car waiving my hands and screaming but they didn't see me. So I get back in my car and floor it to follow them and warn them. I get to the entrance of the complex when they turn and the leash let's go. This poor little girl just sitting in the street like nothing happened, bleeding like crazy. I just sit there petting her and don't know what to do, eventually another guy comes over and I ask him to call the cops and get a towel. I put her on the towel and look for broken bones so I know how not to hold her. She's all torn up, bleeding so much. Eventually the cops come and I agree to take her to the animal hospital. It's amazing shes alive, a little bit of road rash but no broken bones. The picture above is about 4 hours after, shes still a little groggy from medication, and has to stay three days. In South Carolina you don't need tags on a dog, so we don't know who owns the dog. The hospital placed an add in the paper, after three days if no one comes forward she comes home with me. I don't want the owners taking this dog back, so I got my fingers crossed. If I keep her I'm calling her Tess. :)
