I have to get this out....
I just saw a dog get run over. The driver hit him with the front bumper, and then kept going. I saw the dog's neck get rolled under the rear tire, and I heard the dog scream.
I was too in shock to get the license plate, or think of anything to do except just drive home, shaking and crying. All I can think is that I just witnessed a murder, and I didn't do anything. I couldn't think of anything to do, but there should have been something. Anything.
I wonder if the murderer even realizes what he did.

Second off, *big big hugs*, if'n you want.
Fucking humans.
I'm sorry for you and the dog.

In traffic court, they went over what you should do if you hit a dog or cat. It says you are required by law to try to make an attempt to find the owner and tell them.

It's not nice not to stop if you hit an animal, so if the driver did realize that it occurred, one could certainly fault him for that (although it's not a crime).
I certainly wouldn't assume that it was intentional, though, and I think you must have an intent to kill before you can call it a murder. Otherwise it's an accident; sad, yes, but it does happen.
Did you stop, to see how injured the animal was, and move it out of the roadway if necessary? At a minimum, that's what I would have done...
I can think of two reasons the driver didn't stop: s/he may have been distracted and just not noticed, or s/he may have been afraid/ashamed of dealing with a hysterical pet owner who witnessed the accident.
Anyway... **Hugs**
*telepathic big hugs*
I'm sure they knew they had hit the dog. But they just didn't give a shit enough to stop and make sure it was, at least, out of it's misery.
We were on the way to burning man. We were on a long dark road, in our RV, almost there. All the sudden, there was a wolf in the street. He was white - really beautiful. He looked up at me.
I tried to swerve out of the way, but only managed to get about half way over. So, he went between the front two tires, but got hit by the back ones.
I heard a horrifying "thump-splat".
Tears started streaming down my face, and I felt as if I had been hit in the chest with a bag of sand.
I could not pull over - the road was narrow, and visability was poor. I would have just made for a target for the next traveller down the road. So, I just kept driving, crying.
Maybe your murderor was driving and crying in shock too.
