My brothers pit bull was hit by a car.

How's the car?

1) id hope my observational skills were intact enough while driving that id see a large animal bounding out into the street so id be able to react proper and not hit em in the first place. 2) if i was unlucky enough to hit something.. ANYthing.. even if it was a squirrel or a bird.. id stop. 3) the only thing people know about pitbulls is when theyre in the news because some retard owner has mistreated them or didnt train them proper so theyve hurt someone.. people need to educate themselves and not listen to the frigen hype.. pits, rotties, dobies.. all of the sposed "bad" canines are indeed very GOOD and wonderful pets when trained proper.. same as any other frigen dog. a poodle will do some serious damage to a childs face if they attack, and they DO attack!! but ya dont see betty white wanting to eradicate the lapdog breeds now do ya? nooo theyre "cute" im very sorry for your brothers loss and pain, its a terrible thing to go through and the way it happened makes it even worse with the heartlessness of those who just kept driving along as if nothing had happened. my heart goes out to him. and you.. ;hugs;..

Animals are only mean if they are raised to be mean. I owned a pit bull when I was a child and she was the sweetest thing you could ever meet. She was also hit, but not by just one car, by two. I was heart broken as well. People can be cruel and some people don't view pets the same as others. If I were to hit a dog I would stop and try to help and find the owner. This actually did happen to me. I hit a dog when I was in high school. I was on my way to school and I just couldn't miss him. I stopped and helped the owner and got bit. It was my fault as the dog was hurt and I went to reach for him. Luckily he survived. I went to school feeling horrible because I had hit the dog. But I would never just drive away.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother's pet. I have 3 cats and a pup and would be heart broken if anything happened to my puppers he is too spoiled. But I just don't understand why a person would hit the dog and not stop. That is so wrong. Honestly I would try to avoid the animal in the road but if I couldn't it I wouldn't wait to find an owner I would take it to the aspca or to the vet where they would help the animal and find the owner .. When you hit the animal you have a window or time frame in which to make sure the animal is ok if there are serious injuries and I would rather be on the safe side and get them to the hospital and then try and find the owners. I also want to make one point clear to all the readers out there. An animal no matter what breed is only as mean as you raise it to be. Many people say rotties are mean and that is not true every rottie I have ever encountered has been a baby and so sweet and loving with all the family members. My friend her SO has a rottie that doesn't like people it doesn't know my daughter who is 4 went over and stayed over night and had the dog eating out of her hands. It is all in how your raise and treat and animal on how they turn out.

I couldn't live with myself if I hit a dog. If I did, I would totally stop to see if it had any owners. Accidents happen but still the right thing to do is stop. That is so sad.

I am so sorry to hear this, hearing this brings tears to my eyes. We have two pit bulls ourselves and I totally agree with you, they are so sweet and loving and care for their owners like no other. They are just big ole babies in a big body. We have had Cheyenne for 8 years and Maggie (who is Cheyennes puppy) for almost 3 years. Please give your brother my condolensces. I know its gotta be rough.

That is just horrible.I am wary of the breed but only because some people train their dog to be aggressive and pitties more than others.I had a pitty cross staffy and he was just an adorable sook with such a big heart so i can see your brother would be devestated. Also when i was still a kid (about 14),my fox terrier went missing and myself and a friend of mine searched my parents property for him in case he was hurt somewhere. There was an awful smell and when i found the source,it was my dog.Someone had hit him with their car,picked him up with a jumper and put him over the fence back onto our land.It's disgusting that it was obviously someone local who knew the dog was ours. I could never just keep going if i hit an animal.Domestic pets are family and i would feel too sick with guilt to just drive away.

oh im so so sorry for your brothers loss, i know how he must be feeling.. its so heart breaking and we do look at our dogs as our children.. if i hit a dog i would stop and check if its ok, only because i love dogs. i have never had a pitbull but only because i live on a farm and we only have a kelpie to use for the cows and also i have a little house dog.

Send my condolences to your brother.People these days don't care about anything but themselves.You would think a driver would stop but I guess not. I don't drive but if I were in a car , I would have gotten the driver to stop.it was an accident. No charges will be given. It is just common decency to stop.

Hi Tee, First of all let me say that I feel very sorry for what happened and know that it has to be very difficult for your brother. I too have heard stories about pit bulls, but being a lover of animals know that they are not all alike, and the way they are treated has to make a difference. As you may guess I would certainly stop if I hit an animal. I had a cat for thirteen years, he was a member of the family, and my only company for three years after my first wife passed away. He got sick back in April of this year and nothing could be done for him. I couldn't stand to watch him suffer, so I had him put down. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life. Your brother must grieve for awhile, perhaps later he will want another dog. Blessings to both of you.

I can only imagine how your brother feels. I agree that pit bulls are a wonderful breed. It's like with any dog it all depends on how they are raised. I don't understand myself how someone could just keep going. It doesn't make sense. I could never do something like driving off after hitting a dog like that. I would not only pull over and try to help in any way that I could, but I would also like you said, try to find the animals owner.

No offense but if a large pit bull ran into the street and hit my car I would stop. I would stop because the owner would be paying to have my car fixed. Some of those bad boys weigh a fair amount and I could see it doing a great deal of damage to newer cars which are made up of all plastic basically. Not trying to be insensitive, sorry about your brother's pet, I am just answering the question. Oh, and wile I would stop, I might call a police officer to report the accident before I got out.

all life is important. but circumstances must be weighed. who knows what kind of problems, circumstances, or feelings the driver had?
