A dog sleeping in the street was run over by an armored vehicle and the animal rescue organization Purpaws decided to write about it from the perspective of the dog. Let's take a look.

An organization rescuing distressed pets and animals said that an armored car is now being tracked down for running over a sleeping dog in front of a house in General Santos City and speeding away as if nothing happened.
In a post from People United to Rescue Pets that are Abused, Wasted, and Sick (Purpaws) on Thursday, it was stated that Doggo, a dog that people from Barangay Lagao were familiar with as it usually hangs out at a local fast food chain, died after being run over by an armored car with body number 3285.
The dog hangs out at a local fast food chain? What is he the Fonz? Hanging out? More like begging for scraps! It's not The Max and he ain't Zack Morris. He is Doggo which is a generic name you give a dog you don't care about.
Purpaws said the dog was lying in front of its owner’s house when the incident happened. The owner ran after the armored car, but the driver involved did not mind, instead managed to escape.
Great googly moogly! The dog was LYING IN FRONT OF ITS OWNER'S HOUSE rather than inside the house or the gate at least? Why did his owner allow the dog to sleep in the street?
“I was just lying on the ground having my nap at around 9:00 am in front of our humble store when an armored car number 3285 colored beige casually ran over me […] If I was a person lying on that same spot where I was, do you think the driver of the armored car with body number 3285 kill me? Just because I was a dog, the driver mercilessly killed me,” Purpaws, speaking on behalf of Doggo, said.
Maybe if you were a person lying in the middle of the street then yeah perhaps the armored vehicle would have run over you. How the heck was this dog lying in front of his owner's store and still got run over UNLESS the store is right on the road? That is another huge danger in the Philippines. Many stores and houses are right on the road and as a result have been plowed into and destroyed by wayward vehicles.
“My owner saw what happened and he ran after the armored car but they did not even apologize. Then I was put in a sack and someone saw the opportunity to get my body and turn me into a meal. Someone from PURPAWS saw this and she didn’t waste time to check what happened to me. When she saw my lifeless body she immediately took me from the person who wanted me for a meal and warned him,” the group added.
Like Superman appearing at the slightest hint of trouble someone from PURPAWS saw the whole thing and prevented a would-be gourmand from feasting on this fine specimen of dog. Think of the scene! The dog gets hit and the owner runs after the vehicle. The dog is then stuffed into a sack and some passerby attempts to steal the bag so he can cook up a tasty meal but he is stopped by a representative pf PURPAWS who just happened to be in the vicinity.
According to the group, Doggo was bought to a nearby veterinary clinic for autopsy, where the veterinarian said the cause of death is blunt force trauma.
Oh really? The dog died from blunt force trauma?? NO KIDDING!!! Did they have to cut the dog open and give a proper autopsy to render that verdict?
“After my necropsy I was brought to a tranquil place where I was given a decent burial. My owner was assisted by the organization to file a blotter report to the Traffic Enforcement Unit. TEU forwarded the complaint to the Land Transportation Office for the record,” Purpaws said.
“The organization is now hunting the armored car with body number 3285 in beige color. Will you help them? So that I get justice for my death…I was only taking my morning nap, why? What have I done to you people?” it added.
Hit-and-run incidents involving pet animals like dogs are not rare in the country: just this December 2022, singer and former youth commissioner Ice Seguerra was devastated after learning that his pet was killed in a hit-and-run incident.
Yeah no kidding hit-and-run incidents involving dogs are not rare in the Philippines! Neither are dog bites or death from rabid dog bites. That is because the Philippines has a massive stray dog problem. Now, this dog was not a stray and that presents us with a whole other problem which is that too many owners let their dogs out to roam the streets all day and night. It's not enough that they open the gate so they can go do their business but they are hanging out at their favorite restaurants and then being forced to sleep outside IN THE STREET. Sometimes the dog is never allowed in but lives its life in the street as if it were a stray.
It's not surprising this dog got killed and it would not be surprising if the driver did not see a sleeping dog curled up in the street. The bottom line is dog owners are as much to blame as drivers when it comes to their dogs being killed by vehicles.
