Sorry to hear it, it really isn't your fault and you know it. I hope the dog recovers and you do too.
I hit a dog on the way home just now ...
She'd slipped her lead and ran out from behind a small parked van ...
I saw a blur of tan and white, swerved right, no oncoming traffic, braked and heard a yelp ...
She ran down the road a few yards and hid in a front garden, the owners are taking her to the vet now ...
I'm in bits ...
But if the collar had been measured and fitted correctly it could not have been slipped. Good collars can cost a lot of money so it is up to the owner to weigh up the pros and cons of the best one when buying. Nowadays, many people have gone down the harness route to surmount this problem. A 'spooked' dog seems to be able to break free from most collars.

If anyone's interested I've got a tech/adjustment and description of operation sheet for a Weber 34 ICH with part numbers etc, if it's of use then I'll post some pics in a suitable location

Hope you enjoyed the cuddles . But you didn't get a brandy----She was so upset and we just wanted to reassure her. And thank her for stopping"
"she got lots of cuddles and I had a brandy!
I suppose it is a case of you win some and you lose some. It is for each owner to accept what they think is the best for them and their pet.Harness is not good for some dogs it buggers up the skeleton arrangement ...
That really is good news, both for the dog and for your peace of mind. It was very nice of the owner to go to such lengths to get the good news conveyed to you so quickly.This was posted to my local FB page;
" If anyone knows the lady who hit my dog earlier today on Griffin Rd (no fault of her own, the dog slipped her collar and she could not avoid her), please let her know Kaya is ok. She has a small cut on her leg and was chasing the foxes half an hour later. She was so upset and we just wanted to reassure her. And thank her for stopping"
"she got lots of cuddles and I had a brandy! And we need to get a new collar! She’s a rescue dog from Bosnia and we are trying to train her… it’s not going well"
Great relief she's ok ...
Good morning my happy family.
