Most places you have to stop and report if you hit a dog, horse, cow, goat, mule, sheep or pig. You don't have to stop if you hit a cat or most other animals. In the north country if you hit a deer and it's still alive most likely law enforcement will put it out of it's misery. In Alaska they have a lottery for who gets the moose meat when hit by a car. I wonder who in society got to pick which ones are the special animals. FYI how do you know the driver did not call police even immediately down the road. All you know is the driver did not stop at the scene which by law is required. Call it a mistake, misdemeanor, poor judgment, no morals, etc. Dog is OK. Sounds like some of you are looking for justice - will a good old fashion hanging in the town square do it for you ?
