The Killing of Codey
by Melissa Dutton.........................................
Codey was just 12 months old, a cross lab/rotty.. She was VERY jumpy, playful, always running around and lickin you.. Always a happy dog that loved to greet you when you come home... I went to work, it was the 18.06.09, around 7.30pm i got a call from my partner sayin 'the dogshave got out', i had two dogs you see, the other was a rotty called Tobey, he is 4.. They were like two peas in a pod, always together.. So any way, my partner said, 'what shall i do', 'i said go next door and ask my neighbour to help', she did so.. About an hour later i got a call from my brother saying 'Codey is dead', i laughed because my brother is a joker and i didnt believe him, 'really' i said, he said 'yes', said put Kerrie on the phone, she came on in hysterics, 'she is on the railway track Mel, shes just lieng their' she said.. I started to cry as i was driving home, i put the phone down... As i got nearer to the train station my heart was thudding.. I got out my car and ran down, my brother and partner following... She was too far down, i fell to my knees as the hurt was so bad.. i said 'someone get her off please', i paced the platform, i rang the police, i rang the main station, no one was helping me...I waslked further down upon to a fence, i could see her little body lieng their, just curled up,my baby, just their.... A couple of hours went by, someone who knows my family said, 'melissa, i saw two go down but only one come up', Toby, he was now safe at home..Eventualy my ex partner phoned me, her mum had got someone from the rails to get her, we all stud in anticipation... He said 'a blackdog, white chest?' 'yeah thats her' i said... he wraped her up and lifted her over the fence, 'heavy she is' he said... and their she was, my dog, her chest had split open from the force of the train, i unrapped her so i could see her face... 'oh my god' i said... 'i cant believe it, you silly dog codey' i wimpered, then i cried and held her tight as i wrapped her up and put herin my car... i got her home, we got her out... i uncovered her face again.. 'i love yu codey' i said... i wrapped her up again and took her to my garden where she will be buried.... R.I.P Codey... I Love You.. Toby is looking for you, he misses you too...

That is my story... Thankyou for reading x
