This is awful news so I won’t try to polish it. One of our best friends is dead. And you can say it’s not a human life, but we’ve all lost a friend in Malice.
What an awesome dog. A dog trained to jump into a messenger bag (facing left so she’ll ride with her head facing forward). A dog trained to keep quiet at the bar in hopes of a stray French fry. A dog that could run 20 miles on the singletrack in Frick Park, and still keep up with you at 20mph on the Southside bike path.
The consummate lap dog, if Malice had a fault it was being too damn nice.
Malice got hit by a car. What can you do? It sucks. Life goes on. Make sure it doesn’t happen to you.
Wow that really sucks…I know what it is like to lose a great friend like that…his awesome little soul is in a better place…I’m sure he lived a good life and has no regrets…R.I.P. Malice
Very sorry to hear that news…. a pet is never just a pet.. a pet is always an integral part of peoples lives…. always try to remember all the things that made her so adorable.
Nick.
Horrible. So sorry Hammer.
Malice will be missed.
Keep your head up Hammer.
That’s absolutely horrible. Give my condolences to Hammer. I completely fell in love with Malice when i was out there years ago for the Punk Bike Enduro (He made it into that issue of Leapfrog). That’s an awful loss for the Pitt bike community.
Just awful. Nothing more can be said. My condolences.
Hammer-
I am totally floored, and my kids are both shedding tears of sorrow for her. We met her at Ray’s last winter at the DR booth.
If it helps, anyone that’s had a dog has probably had to deal with their parting. Have some libation(s) of choice, mourn her loss, get over it, ride (a lot-it helps), and cry.

Man,that is a terrible drag. I can’t believe it. My condolences.
I feel that I read about this dog doing a night ride with a blinky on its collar.
Sorry about the lose.
I love my dog to death. Spoiled fox hound that she is. This month has made me think more about the dogs. Being a subscriber to “BIKE”, I read Mr. Ferrintinos’ final goodbye to his companion, Lena Toast (who’ve I’ve had the pleasure of the company for the briefest time) and now Malice. I didn’t know Malice, but, damn, I love dogs.
Pouring one to the curb for Malice!

Malice rocks! So sorry to hear the news. I’ve grown very close to my dogs and had to put one down this past winter…I was DEPRESSED for days. I flipped over to Malice’s myspace page and laughed my arse off at the comments on the slide show. Keep your head up and thanks for sharing Malice with all of us!!
