Don't listen to this person. Unleashed dogs are the responsibility of the owner in most states. Not only are you not legally responsible for the injuries to the dog, the owner is responsible for any damage to your car.
Thank you.
The owner is responsible for letting the dog roam uncontrolled.
Thanks.
If the dog ran into the path of the rear tyre, what do you think you could have done differently in this situation? The owner is responsible for their unleashed dog
I just feel terrible that I hurt a dog and don't know how to react. I know it wasn't on purpose but I get sad if I run over a squirrel in the road.
The owner hurt the dog by walking it without a leash and not having enough control over it to keep it from running into traffic. It speaks to your good character that you feel guilt over what happened, but you are not responsible and should not beat yourself up over it.
Hit and run is NOT the answer to any question involving vehicles.
