Yesterday afternoon I was driving down a fairly busy road (6 lanes total). Just as I was going through an intersection, the light turned yellow. I was the last car to make it through. I was about 100 or so meters past the intersection when something made me look in my rearview mirror. I saw 2 dogs running across the road and they both got hit. The car that hit them didnt stop at all, and they passed me after I slammed on my brakes. Cars started coming through the intersection and a mother and son (?) came out of the shrubs that only seconds earlier their 2 dogs ran out of.
I dont know what kind of city I live in, but as the cars came through the intersection, not one of them stopped. I will never know if those 2 dogs made it or not, but I cant get the image of them being hit out of my head. I cant even imagine the heartache that little boy is going through.
I know that not everyone is an animal lover, but what on earth would posess someone to not stop if they hit a dog? It wasnt the drivers fault they got hit (they literally came out of a shrub and bolted into the road), but he just kept going. They werent big dogs, they were medium sized family dogs.
