Was on my way to Mcdicks last night after work. In Maple Ridge, these 2 dogs/coyotes popped out of nowhere and one got hit :( Had no time to react at all.

For those that must know I was traveling under speed limit
I feel bad that it got killed and damaged my car too :okay:

Can't be 100% certain that it was a coyote. What do you guys think? It had no collars, tags.. but it was way too well fed to be a coyote. Either way.. called police and icbc. Police did not show up after 2 hours. I stayed at the scene.. no owner came looking for it either. RIP.

I hope ICBC will replace/ or willing to repair my lip. Hard to get these..

Could be.. :QQ: Damn yea I did what I could... Didn't suffer long as it seems..

[nabs]

ICBC will fix it, however they will fault you on it unfortunately.

RIP Husky...:tears: its a shitty situation.

[jepho]

That's sad
looks to be defiantly a Husky. RIP

should spoiler the pict of the dog though

604-326-4710 for dead animals or road kill from city of Vancouver.

Yes, impact w. animals domesticated or non, living or dead is covered under comprehensive coverage. Whatever your deductible is so i'd start looking for Ads selling your LIP, bumper & other acc for ur suby

ICBC | Comprehensive coverage (http://www.icbc.com/autoplan/optional/optional-vehicle/comprehensive)

could be a malamute :( RIP

[dovo]

Wasn't a malamute. It was really small. Smaller than any regular husky. I have 2 dogs myself.. 300 deductible.. but we'll see.. i might end up fixing the lip myself.. not go thru ICBC>

[c3m]

That doesn't look like a husky to me.
Husky's legs are not that skinny

[donjalapeno]

well big props for actually having a heart and staying to report it instead of just leaving the poor dog there. Really unfortunate for you and the owners, rip

[Hondaracer]

he looks so happy lol

i dunno weird coloring and features for a husky, but typical city coyotes are tiny

[Lowered_Klass]

That could very well be coyote, and looks like one to me :( I've passed many coyotes -alive and dead- over the years, and some have looked extremely close to that.

Just because it appears to be well fed, doesn't mean it ISN'T a coyote.

There is so much shit for these guys to eat/scavange in urban areas, not to mention peoples cats and other small animals that live in urban areas too, rodents, etc.

It's a shitty deal, and it happens :(

At least you manned up about it, and did the right thing... which doesn't fix your car, which just adds to the shittyness

[GabAlmighty]

Shitty deal man, poor guy.

No

[dared3vil0]

Poor dog :(

[dovo]

if it was a dog.. probably a stray. if its not.. owner`s negligence ultimately cost this dogs's life. im just upset that i am the big part of it. drop by the site on my way home from work. city cleared up the body. no notes by owner or anything.

Does not look like a husky at least.

I would say its more coyote then a husky.

Even that pic of a husky that was linked. Look how small the snout is on the dead animal compared to the picture of the husky. and the difference in the legs.

my money is on Coyote

Sorry to hear, whether it is a coyote or dog it sucks. hope the cosmetics are easy finds for your subaru

[dared3vil0]

End of the day, you weren't injured, the Animal died instantly and painlessly, The damage to the car is repairable.

[jlenko]

That's a coyote for sure. Seen enough of those in Burnaby Mountain area fighting over a soon-to-be-dead cat.

[ill.stance]

i almost hit a coyote couple nights ago too.
scared the shit out of me i thought it was a little kid on a bike.

but good job on staying and actually caring for it. :eekthumb:

[wasabisashimi]

that is a coyote!.

[FerrariEnzo]

This is how a Coyote looks like

[XplicitLuder]

considering you say "2 dogs/coyo came out of no where" ima have to go and say theyre coyotes. rarely do i hear of animals crossing the road if a car is coming

[optiblue]

rip, but I had friends where coyotes ate their pets. I don't have much sympathy for wild dogs in urban areas. That one being so well fed, you probably extended the life of many other small pets

Did some googling.

Could be coyote!

My redneck foreman probably would have got out of his truck and started skinning the thing.

[Lowered_Klass]

No

Yup. At least the ones out here in Pitt Meadows/Ridge do.

I know of a few that like to hunt, or have a den, fairly close to Lougheed around the Pitt River bridge. They like to hang around the shoulder and try to cross the bloody highway sometimes, even with the concrete center divider. Brave little shits.

[Benz_05TSX]

This is sad. I wish there are things the city can do to prevent wildlife from jumping onto public roads. I was so scared driving up to Cranbrook on the highway when I knew Moose will jump out of no where.

It could be a black and tan Shiba Inu. :( The dogs are known escape artists, and they do grow to about 20 pounds. Smaller than a husky...

Even though the dog doesnt have tags, it might have slipped through the collar. Like huskies, their necks are the same size/width as their heads so they do slip off pretty easily. It might have had a microchip though?

RIP.

shitty situation man, i know how it feels. im not much of a dog person, but whenever i see cat roadkill i instantly get choked up, and get really angry and society for owning cars.


in the fall, there was a HUGE problem it seemed with raccoons on 1 road in richmond. multiple times i had to slam on my brakes and throw on the hazards to let those little critters get out of the way safely. although on canadian thanksgiving i had to actually get out and help them.

there was two bigger ones ,and a baby cub. but one of the big ones got hit and died instantly. and they wouldn't leave the bodies side. so i stopped, got out of my car and moved the body safely into some bushes. thankfully the cubs followed, and hopefully stayed in the brush.

Not a Shiba Inu. Definitely looks like a coyote. They're somewhat common. Saw one outside of the BCIT Aerospace campus in Richmond about a week ago...just hanging out in the bushes near the river.

[zx7rrrr]

Did he died?

[tseman]

yeah he did died

[mmmk]

Did he died?

No, he's sleeping :concentrate:

[blagh]

that's a coyote

[Graeme S]

Coyote for sure. The proportions, colouring and shape is right. We get a few through the neighborhood now and again. And just as many "missing cat/toy do" ads as we do coyotes.


Which means you know we have coyotes.

oh yeah, this one was fat. prolly just going back to it's den from nice dinner..

Way tooo much headache. wish i had a way to avoid it. Dealing with ICBC and proving them of the mechanical damage is just pain in the ass (found out my timing skipped 2 teeth). OHHHHHh the joy of unresponsive estimator.

How does hitting an animal cause the timing belt in your motor to skip 2 teeth and how do you prove hitting an animal caused your timing to skip 2 teeth?

If you can't answer question #1, good luck trying to prove question #2 to ICBC.

being a boxer engine. the timing cover sit way low. when i ran over the thing, it hit the cover and probably caused the engine to hard stall for a moment. and left hand side crank prolly spun cuz tensioner gave out. hard impact like that can cause the tensioner to give out. and the fact is it happened after i ran over it.

Just an update..

ICBC denied claim for engine damage. Because the timing belt job was done by my friend. Unlucky for me, timing skipped and previous timing belt job was a DYI. shitty.
