This actually sounds something like the title of a Hollywood movie, or perhaps a novel. Actually, it was another sad day for us with a pet. May, our young guard dog, slipped out of the gate last night when my wife was off to take a friend home. A half-hour later some neighbors brought May home. She had been hit by one of the lunatics that life to drive at 80 kph through this small village filled with children, dogs, goats and chickens. May died about a half-hour after she was brought home.
While May was somewhat of a problem (she never really changed much from a semi-wild state) in that she killed 12 of our chickens and continually harrased and terrorized our geese, she was an excellent guard dog whose fierce demeanor and angry growl when a stranger approached the gate kept out unwanted visitors and probably scared away several potential burglars.
Dogs here in our area of Sumbawa generally run free just like in Bali. We make a point of keeping ours inside the walls that surround our house. May just happened to escape this time, and she unfortunately paid for it.

Sorry to hear about May. I feel the same about immigration. I have been dragged into the office and hassled too. I didn't pay them though - I luckily had TTC's (or whatever they are called) number on me that time.
oh... shit, i hate dead dog stories.
sorry man.
