I wasn't really fond of pets when I was a kid since i got barked at by a dog that was bigger than me.

BUT-- there's this one dog that our family had since It was a baby and since I was 6 yrs old. He was dark gray with his chest area having white fur. He looked like a bear. :3
One day when I was 11 yrs. old. Bernard, our dog, got hit by a fricken' truck.
He was hit but he didn't die. He only died after my grandpa came home and petted his head.
He walked about 5 ft. away from my grandpa then laid there and stopped breathing.
I think everyone in our family was sad about it. Especially my grandpa.
