Really rough night

Last night my BIL's dog (a yellow lab) was hit by a car and killed instantly :( It happened at my MIL/FIL's house while they were watching the dog for him. They live out in the country; the speed limit on their road is 55 but most drivers go closer to 70 since the speed limit isn't really enforced out there and it's just a long, open road. Apparantly, my FIL was walking out of the front door when the dog pushed his way past him and just took off running and wouldn't listen to FIL's commands. FIL tried to catch him but he wasn't fast enough.
Mike just happened to pull up shortly after it happened and tried to help with getting the dog loaded in his truck and taken to the emergency vet clinic before BIL could get there as he obviously didn't want him to see the dog in the condition he was in (it was very graphic). Well, BIL got there before Mike was able to get the dog into the truck and saw his poor dog and, as you can imagine, totally broke down. Mike is taking it VERY hard and so we had a very rough night last night. I think this is only maybe the third time I've ever really seen Mike cry before in the almost 7 years we've together and he wasn't just crying, he was sobbing until after midnight last night when he finally cried himself to sleep.
My heart is just absolutely breaking for everyone involved today.
