As I was leaving work late, the only other person who was still at the office was the coming back into the building and pointed toward a lump in the gutter of the very busy street saying, "A dog just got hit...Who do I call?" I suggested animal control only because I couldn't think of anything else. She went in to make the call and I went over to the dog. He was very much alive - a white poodle mix. He had blood coming from his mouth but no other apparent injuries except for the fact that he was a crumpled heap in the gutter. 
A man stopped shortly after I stooped down to the dog. He saw it happen right next to him & came around the block to see what he could do. He said the car smacked the dog's hind end and kept going. He had the state of mind to check if he had tags (address & phone # but no name). He did & while the guy called 911 to find out who to call, I called his owner. It went right to voice mail & I left a message for them.
Laurie, the woman from the office, came back out & said animal control was closed but they were sending a cop to pick up the dog. She arrived pretty fast even though it felt like forever. Another man from the office came out & waited with us and helped carry the dog to the officer's car. She thanked us all for helping the dog & staying with him. I called the owners again to let them know where she was taking the dog and telling them that we hope he would be ok.
I petted the poor guy's shoulder the whole time we all waited. Except for when they took him to the police car I was the only one touching him. I just knew that if he didn't make it he should have compassionate touch from someone who cared. When the traffic slowed down we could hear him whimpering and crying.
He was taken to an emergency vet so he's getting medical care. Could you please spare some vibes for this little guy?
I was just happy that there were at least 4 people who cared enough about a dog they didn't know to stop their lives for a few minutes to help an animal in need.

Many vibes that this boy will be okay! 
I'm glad for the dog that there were people around to help.
There were a lot of people who cared about you.
