Things could have been much worse, could have involved other vehicles or pedestrians had the car driver had a chance to swerve to miss the dog. Could have resulted in a dead dog. So, I don't think it is fair to put the blame on the car driver, it all started with the dog owner,

What is wrong with you? Who said anyone's getting fined? Who said it was the drivers fault? It's not illegal to hit an animal and just keep going, I believe it's more a question of why wouldn't someone stop if for no other reason than to make sure this animal isn't suffering.. Conditions and situations occur that can be cause for a pet OR child to wander off, usually in a split second of preoccupation, open door, phone call etc, would you fine a parent or remove their child because of it? Maybe you're one of the rare ones that would NEVER allow that to happen but most of us are less than perfect and these things sometimes do happen..We all have our opinion as do you but they're still just opinions and shouldn't morph into hyperbole and THAT is just my opinion..
