What would you do if you hit a cat/dog?

Most likely if he was able to run away, he could run home - I would think that would be the dog's instinct to go home for help and comfort.

That is very comforting Linkat - it's my hope. Thanks

i'd keep going.

Last night I was driving through a neighborhood when i heard a woman yell out. Her cat had ran out and went right under my tire. I just saw a blur and heard a thump, didnt have time to do anything. I stopped, the cat had left the road and went into some bushes. I tried to talk to the lady and said how sorry I was but she didnt respond to me at all. I got into my car and left. Did I do the right thing? I could tell she was mad and upset and I felt I had nothing more to offer. There was nothing I could do to avoid it.

That's a tough situation, not a lot that feels "right" but I don't think you did anything wrong, for what it's worth.

I kind of agree - you didn't mean it, you stopped and tried to help and it is tough for us to judge as we weren't there so although I might say I would have tried to talk with her some more, make sure the lady was ok and see if I could help her get her cat and bring them to a vet. But again I don't want to judge as I wasn't there and can't fulling understand the situation.

You did more than many have and you did try - I'll give you cudos for that.

one of my friends parents was driving one day and hit a rottweiler, a skinny type.

we watched him keep going from like 1 block away.

i went over there to help it out, so sad.

he was in his throes of death, and he made it quite clear he wasnt going out quietly. i hated it but i had to stroke his face head and neck. he quieted down after about a minute and slowly left this world. whole ordeal lasted about 15 minutes. i picked himup and carried him to the sidewalk and some neighbhors called animal control.

people who drive off, i spit on you.

HOORAY! lol!

I agree.I would react in such a weird way.1.I would take it to my place and lay it down.2.I would take a pic so I could put it in the paper to see if anyone lost their pet.3.Pray about it and hopefully someone would reply.4.If not then I would bury it in my front/backyard.
