    The law here says that if you hit a dog, you're obligated either to try to find the owner or to alert the police as soon as it's safe to do so.


    Also, obligatory "lion-eats-dog" joke.

    I received email from a relative in Utah, one of those that have been forwarded all over the country. This is the text as I received it.


    Driving on the autobahn in Germany at 140mph in his BMW Z4, the driver hit a deer...

    The deer disappeared...The driver stopped and wondered where did the deer go.......???

    For all you deer hunters, this is how you pack a 150lb deer into a BMW Z4 convertible....(I know it's not a Z4)


    ...and warning, the photos are sort of gruesome.

    So the driver just waited until the car started overheating or something?!?! I hope his engine locked up.


    I've never had anything bigger than a small bird stuck in the grill of a vehicle. The bird wasn't so lucky.

    You've got it all wrong. He knew he hit the dog and was merely rushing it to the vet as quickly as possible. I did that with a cardinal once...didn't make it.

    You should stop, even if you are a cold, cruel, heartless bastard who cares not one bit for animals.


    Couldn't said animal have knocked a lower radiator hose loose? Or crack a radiator? Not likely, but an oil pan could be damaged.

    In a just world, there would be a dog-loving Sicilian Crime Boss available to settle Mr. Menozzi's hash.

    If you were cruising along at 70mph and hit a dog, you wouldn't get out to stop either, you'd just assume it dead and feel bad. Its just plain dangerous to pull over for something like that.


    I would, however, like to cast my vote for Fortunato as the creature least likely to ever be death's bitch.

    70mph. A damned dog. Thats just badass.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Agreed, not sure how the driver's actions were 'cruel'. If I were on a side road, maybe, but a highway/freeway? No.

    @FightingChance: Exactly. I don't think he was cruel at all. Maybe oblivious, as he did have a living dog stuffed in his grille for 15 miles and didn't notice it.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: You have now been presented with evidence that a dog hit by a car at 70 mph may only suffer a broken leg and some bruising.


    Perhaps it's time to change your assumptions.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Said it above, but if I hit something as big as a dog, on all but the busiest fastest freeways, I'm gonna pull over.


    1) It's worth checking what happened to the animal. It might not be dead, but in a state where the humane thing to do would be to find a way to dispatch it.


    2) It's definitely worth checking your car for damage.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: Seconded.
    At 70 mph, on a highway, Mr. Menozzi's actions were entirely justified.
    I love dogs just as much as the next guy, but I think its time for the PETA Gestapo to just look at the circumstances, turn around and go bother someone else.
