He died sudden after we moved to another community. It happened so fast.
Because I had a longer distance to travel to school I would return home later than usual in the evening. Before Rover was used to meeting me much earlier in the evening to play with me. Also we living in a very closely knit community with courteous drivers. I lived a the end of the road so Rover was not used to having a lot of cars driving by.
Our new house was in a community that was beside a highway that always had vehicles driving by and on a particular evening Rover went outside on the highway and was hit by a vehicle.
The hardest part of this story is that I did not gotten to play with him before leaving for school on that day so it left me without closure for many years.
I can remember that day vividly upon returning from school and not seeing my favorite pet. I concluded he just was outside exploring his new community but unbeknownst to me he was already dead.
