Yes, he is very lucky. It occurred when the neighbor was pulling out of the driveway, she came and got me immediately and was very apologetic, but it was never her fault and I never held her responsible.
And of course, I could never live with myself if I had to do that. Jasper is like a fourth child, and was given to me by my kids as a birthday present. Thus his life is inexorably linked to my own.
Thanks for your good wishes!
