Too many people sue now a days for everything. Stop telling people to be on the lookout for the car. Just be happy dog is ok, and no other damages were done and no human life was hurt. I am sure both parties have learned a big lesson.


I didn't grow up ever hearing of a hit and run. If something bad happened people weren't thinking about escaping blame, they were thinking more about someone being hurt. Not many really aim to harm and accidents do happen. I have little patience with those who drink and drive and those who leave the scene of an accident. It all has to do with whether you have a moral compass and it works and you think more of others than yourself.


Having said that, I am relieved to hear that the dog wasn't killed and I imagine if a greyhound slips out and begins running, there is little chance to catch it. Why do we keep digging and spitting and gagging on here until the situation gets worse?

AND....methinks that thou doth protest too much...
