On your Belly or Back

There have been better nights than last night. My dog had been hit by a car. My mom was going on a walk with her friend and the dogs would tag along. On their way outside they had remembered they needed to grab the leashes for the dogs. Than went back inside to grab them but forgot they left the door open. My dog knows to not run out into the street. Jenny (my dog) ran out the door down our drive way onto the side of the road. A lady was driving by not paying attention and hit Jenny. My mom had not noticed because she was inside. When she went got the leash and was ready to go on a walk. A lady walked up her and said is that your dog who just got hit? My mom darted down the driveway hoping it wasn't ours. Jenny was laying on the side of the road trying to open her eyes. The lady who hit her didn't bother to stop. It was a hit and run. In at least a minute after my mom ran to her, she was gone. It was very sudden. Jenny didn't suffer she was such a little dog. It was a very hard night for everyone. My brother and I heard the news after school. When my mom picked me up I knew some bad news she had to tell me.
