If you saw a dog get hit by a car, would you stop and see if it was okay?

YES.....\nIt is my unscientific opinion that people who love animals are more evolved that those who do not.

I would ask her but be careful if you think she killed your dog you don't want to make her mad

Auto's response is correct.  You can certainly sue; you just might have a hard time collecting a judgment if they have no insurance or money.  \n\nHere in Indiana, we have a strange modified "first bite is free rule."  The owners are typically not "negligent" in keeping a "dangerous" animal unless they know that is has "dangerous tendancies," which they would not, unless it has already bitten someone else.  This doesn't seem fair, I realize.  However, I don't think that you would have any problem getting around this, as the dog was running loose, and they were certainly negligent in letting it do so.  \n\nIf you're in Indy, shoot me an email and we can exchange numbers.  I'd be happy to give you some (brief) free advice.

what a strange question to ask, but no.\ni was hit by a car once. i'm ok, though.\ni was also hit with a shopping cart at walmart and was knocked senseless for 5 minutes, that hurt worse than the car, because it chipped my tooth. i had to go to the dentist because of it.

I understand how you feel..I ran over the easter bunny on the highway early in the morning. I was very upset as i love animals and hit a deer, i cried!! By the time i hit a possum i was used to running things over. Just seems to be your time for running things over

If a Ambulance was to run over someone they are legally bound to stop and help. In this case another unit would be dispacted to the orginall call. This just does not fall in line if the hit a pearsone but also if they are just out and about and see somthing happen they are still legally bound to stop.

TRUE STORY:  My cat knows all about traffic, always looks both ways.  One day he was across the street and saw a car coming from far away.  He moved to the curb and crouched down, his eyes on the car the whole time.  Just as it was approaching, he dashed across in front of it, causing it to nearly flip over trying to avoid him.  He jumped and pranced once across safely.\n\nHe clearly KNEW he was risking his life and decided to do it anyway for a cheap thrill.  This, I think, establishes higher reasoning (if a touch daffy) at work.  I don't think we're the only animals that understand mortality, just the only ones who dwell on it...

Is the dog okay? Take him and leave.

I don't know. I like to consider myself culturally sensitive but when the safety and well being of innocent animals is at stake I will always advocate for the animals. A local news report on the conditions would probably do wonders for rectifying the problem.

If these dogs are violent you have a right to defend yourself.  Especially if one attacked your child.  If it were me or my child, I would have defended him/her/myself with whatever I could grab.  If the authorities aren't responding, you have no choice.  Are you talking about police, or animal control?  Did you try calling both?\n\nIf the dogs are just goofy, playing, jumping, then I wouldn't try to hurt them - just chase them away.

If a bird really did break it, of course.  \n\nYou would also have an extremely dead bird to prove it.  If a bird hits it hard enough to break it, the bird will have died from the impact and should be on the ground right near the window.

I had a dog named Henry. Like you, he was crap. And maybe like him, you might get run over by a bus.\n\nHahaha. Just joking.

A good friend was over there as an exchange student last year and this is the story he told me: Hardly anybody knows how to drive yet cars are a hot commodity now. A beggar was crossing the street and got hit. The guy that hit him stopped and dragged the body off to the side of the road. A family member of the victim was praying over the body. They got hit. Both laid on the side of the road as dogs and other vermin ate the bodies. What do you think?

15 years ago I started a job. I had a coworker who befriended me and showed me the job. On one of my days off I was driving down a highway and I ran over a dog. I got out and made sure the dog was dead and drove off it was like midnight. \n\nThe next work day the guy came in and told me about how his dog was ran over and he had to bury it. It was the same kind of dog as I ran over. I asked where he lived and it was his dog. \n\nEven though we have not had that job for years and years we have remained good friends. I have never told him it was me that ran over his dog. \n\nI feel guilty but worse then runing over his dog is the fact that I have not told him for 15 years. I guess I am waiting for the right time.

Yes, I was running accross the street in a pouring rain. When a black car came out from behind a stationary object. They were about 30 feet away going 35 mph (that's what they told the police since that was the speed limit). I was right in front of the driver when I tried to stop and he tried to pull over to the curb as much as he could. As the car got closer, I thought about a lot of things. I was in my first year of marriage, my wife was 5 months pregnant. I finally just surrendered to the Lord's will. The car hit me with the front fender in my right leg. I flipped up in the air and landed in a 3-point stance, facing almost the opposite direction.\nNot only did I suirvive, but my leg wasn't broken either. It truly was the hand of God.Oh yes, by the time I landed, it had stopped raining! Now all of this happened in a fraction of a second!

Not necessarily, it might be better in the right environment.  If the animal is in the right environment, then yes, absolutely.  If the animal is in the wrong environment, or the environment suddenly changes, then absolutely not.  It all depends on where the species is living at a particular moment.
