No one suggested he did anything wrong, when he hit the dog or by leaving afterwords. I think everyone has accidentally hit an animal on the street, its just going to happen. I have hit a cat and two birds (no joke). What he did do wrong was, post it like it was funny. Yeah, he put a frownie face, but when his screen name is fulgore666, he comes off as one of those sick ***** that enjoys the pain of others. Maybe as I am getting older I am less tolerant, or maybe it is because of the places I have been (Iraq and New Orleans after hurricane Katrina) and seen how terrible, we as humans treat animals in general. Dont get me wrong I am not a PETA fanatic, or a member of the meat is murder crowd. My favorite food is beef steak.

Taking responsibility for his actions? Are you high? He was driving down a street and a small dog ran in front of his car and he had no chance to avoid it, nor should he have tried to as it could have made the situation more dangerous(ever seen that foreign anti speeding commercial? Dog runs into road, driver swerves and causes 2 other people to die 1 to be a paraplegic and another severely injured)... Where did he say that he saw the dog and swerved to hit it intentionally? Had he said that then your responsibility comment would hold some water, in this case that is not so. His actions were actions were actually the CORRECT actions to take if an animal darts in front of your car! This is no different than a squirrel or rabbit darting out in front of a car, do you stop your car to see if the squirrel you just crushed is ok? A child is a completely different matter, there is no comparison. Sure it may have been someones pet, it could have also been a stray. But **** happens. It is 100% the owners(if its not a stray) fault for not having the dog on a leash or in a fenced in area, to say it is even partly the drivers fault is just plain retarded. Do you blame the drivers who happen to hit wildlife that darts out into the road? If you can't control your pets and keep them out of the street where they don't belong, then you are to blame 100%. There is no bullshit partial blame here. If you let your pets roam the neighborhood unsupervised then you accept FULL responsibility for what can happen to them and what damage they can cause if they do dart out into a street.
You people realize that if he felt the wheels in both the front and rear go over the animal that it is as good as dead. If he were to stop to find the family how would he know what house they lived in. For all we know it was a stray running through a random neighborhood. Should he really have carried the carcass door to door trying to find the irresponsible owner? **** NO! What if he found the owner and they were some deranged idiot that went into a blind rage after finding out their negligence caused their dog to get killed and they kill the driver? There are people that are just that fucked up.
He is not boasting about running the animal over. You people miss the frown face next to the thread? Obviously he didn't want to kill an animal. However posting about it here isn't exactly appropriate.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a dog or animal hater. I have had alot of pets throughout my life, you name it, dogs, cats, various reptiles, birds, etc etc. but I have always been responsible about keeping them out of the road and\or harms way. I just have no tolerance for irresponsible pet owners. You want to let your dog run free throughout the neighborhood, you better be ready to deal with the consequences that can bring.
FYI, you guys wanna bitch about the killing of an animal then you should head over to this thread. https://www.rx7club.com/lounge-192/soldier-throws-puppy-off-cliff-vid-735511/

a dog runs in front of you.....theres not always a lot you can do, as for stopping to make sure it's ok? um if he felt it under the front and back wheels it is a pretty sure thing it was dead.....nothing he could do......I love animals and am working towards a Zoology Degree right now but for crying out loud....it was a dog not a child, and as someone previously stated, it is owners responsibility to keep the dog out of the street, not yours, kthxbye

Yes, I hit the dog. And the person behind me put on their brakes, and stopped to check on the dog. Their car got hit by another car that was "watching" as they drove by. Read in the paper that the person went to the hospital with a broken arm.
On another note. My friend hit a racoon doing 120 in a Toyota Tercel hatchback.... yea... not pretty.
Sucks for the dog. Hopefully the owners will grow a brain. Dogs don't understand cars. At least most don't. It's the owners responsibility to take care of the dog.

I'd run your dumbass over too...Your dog ran in front of my car and got ran over because the OWNER wasn't responsible enough to put a leash on it. You lacked proper communication skills with the dog to be able to teach him not to run out in front of a car, or be smart enough to realize that and put a leash on it. YOU'RE at fault for owning a dog without knowing how.Thats a horrible story, I wouldn't have posted it like a joke...Honestly I wouldn't have stopped either unless I had seen the family chillin outside. I've never actually ran over any animal in 30k+ miles of driving (-deer) but I get sick when I see road kill. I felt good as hell when I saw that deer knocked out after it had done $1500 worth of body damage on my car though hehe.

general rule of thumb:
< medium raccoon size, dont slow down
> medium raccoon size, do your best to stop in time else can damage car depending on speed
!= slam on the brakes, EVER.. way too many unpredictable things can happen doing that.

I don't think you did anything wrong at all. It's the families fault for not keeping the dog chained up/fenced/inside properly. You can't be held liable to watch out for other peoples mistakes. You hit it, it was an accident. What are you going to do, Find out who owned the dog and apologize? Meh, Feel bad for accidentally killing the dog, don't feel bad for not stopping to ask if it's OK.
I guarantee, the family wouldn't have been any less angry/sad/whatever if the guy who ran over the dog showed up explaining what happened. If they can't figure out that the dog ran out in front of traffic by the body in the road, then..well, they have issues.

lol! I would have stopped to check my car for damage. If it was ok I would have kept going, but if there was any damage I would have tracked down the owners. The last time I hit a bird, I had to peel it off the front, and I had rabbit get stuck to the bottom of my rad once.

My big Chow ran out to the street and got hit by a speeding car. He was launched about 10 feet and then got up and chased after the car barking at it.
Nothing happened to him other than biting his tongue which made it bleed for a couple of minutes. One lucky dog.

Eh, dogs and all kinds of other animals run into the street and get hit all the time. That's life, get over it. If it was your dog or if you let your dog roam without a leash or fence, I hope you've learned something. You think this story is bad?? Why don't you spend less time worrying about stupid people and their pets and more time worrying about PEOPLE that get hit by cars.
Hell, I almost ran over some dumb teenage girl once who was walking on the edge of an unlit street... at night... wearing black. I was coming around a corner doing about ~30 and I didn't see her dumb *** until the very last second, I actually thought I might have grazed her with my mirror so I turned around and went back to check on her and tell her to wear some brighter clothes and quit walking in the road. Dumb kid was on her cell phone and didn't give two ***** what I had to say.

Someone hit and run my puppy, they could have at least stopped and told me what happened, instead of me filling the bowl and calling it's name for two hours. DICK!

I do think the best thing to do is notify the owner, but I won't feel bad that they let their dog get loose. Now sometimes crap just happens which is unfortunate and no one can do anything about it. I was walking my paper route when I was about 14 years old and as I'm delivering a paper to a friend's house and kind of playing with the dog on the way by, that dog was always so stinking hyper. She was jumping back and forth, not even pulling on the chain, but somehow the clip came loose and she BOLTED, straight for the busiest street in town and promptly got hit. She survived and recovered completely, but that was really crazy. I didn't even touch the dog or the chain, one of those freak accidents. Those people still let me babysit their kids *shrug*

something i always wondered about the whole hit the dog tell the family thing...
how the hell do you know where the dog came from? ive had this argument before when a friend claimed a dog as a hood ornament. its sad, and it sux, but at the end of the day what are you going to do.. walk up an down the block knocking on doors asking "was this yours?" as u hold up whats left of the thing? something for those who probably havent created roadkill to think about

I've hit probably 5 or 6 "pets" in my 12 years of driving, I stopped for the first two to let the owner know, the 3rd one I thought this guy was going to ******* shoot me like it was my fault his dog wasn't on a leash and ran out from the front of his truck as I pass by not even giving me a chance to even touch the brakes. Yelling, cussing, kicking his truck.....I just ******* left and told myself from then on, I'd just keep driving.
I've had my pets over the years get whacked, so I know how it feels, but I don't blame people for not stopping and Id rather they didn't because wtf am I suppose to say to them anyway... besides, they don't know me and they just killed my pet, who wants to risk getting into a very bad situation over an animal.
