Dog's death

Extremely horrible and tragic but still a little funny when you think about it. Dog Dies 'Horrific' Death:

Lucy, a Weimaraner, was hit by a vehicle near the intersection of Valley Center Road and Chaparral Terrace in Valley Center on March 8. Apparently, the driver that hit the dog didn't stop, but several other people did, including a woman who volunteered to drive Lucy to the vet.

Another motorist, though, thought Lucy should be put out of her misery then and there and allegedly took a hammer from his truck and struck Lucy with it.

That, however, was not enough to kill the dog, which was euthanized by a sheriff deputy who shot Lucy after arriving at the scene.
