I'm sorry you lost sara in such a bad way. I guess its little comfort but being philosophical, 'at least' she died doing something she loved! I also lost my border collie on the road - hit by an ambulance - somehow that makes it so ironic but it keeps me smiling about it!
I'm glad she changed your mind about canines and that you're considering getting another - maybe hold off for a time though as you'll need to 'let Sara go' first - if you get another really quick, you might find yourself comparing it to her.
Peace to you
