Why are people so cruel?

I am so sorry That driver should be very ashamed of himself! I don't know what has happened to basic human kindness, It is certainly lost in that driver

I also lost a dog that way when I was 8.that's very sad since I wasn't that kind to my dog.I'm sorry that it happened to your dog too.my parents,as drivers,they'd stop if they see anyone crossing the street including animals.Or at least blow the horn so that the animal/s would be aware that a car will be passing.Dogs are intelligent so they would run faster or at least step aside.

I can't imagine a sane person showing that level of cruelty. If he can do this to a dog, he can as easily do the same thing for a street urchin crossing the road. That guy needs to be imprisoned, for sure. If he was indeed in his right mind while driving, then he has to come up with a reason for the uncalled-for brutality. And if he was drunk, then without question, he needs to be locked up straight for drunken driving. I don't suppose he has a license, either. But all these are just wistful thinking. Nothing of it will bring the wrongdoer to justice. And even if justice is meted out to him, you won't be getting your poor doggy back. So mourn over your pet as much as you feel, because he had been a devoted pet to you in his lifetime, and needs those pious drops of yours so that his soul may rest in peace. After that, just try to be happy with all those near and dear ones whom you still have around you. Life is very uncertain. You never know when one of us will be pulled away from our midst. Better to keep them close to yourself for as long as you can.

It makes me sick!! I wish with all my heart there was something I could do to ease your pain. I had to have my Rottie put down at my daughters demand. My grand daughter had provoked the dog and he bit, the first time he EVER even offered to bite and my daughter, who was living under my roof and not paying a cent to help with the bills, went beserk and informed me if I didn't destroy the dog immediately she would move out...I don't know why I didn't tell her "don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out". I went with her demands(to the tune of nearly $600 because they took the grand daughter in to the ER. The costs were for the quarintine of the dog, destroying the dog and the disposal of the body after they did the autopsy. Even though he was current on his rabies they decided that since I live in the country he had to have been attacked by another animal. I tried to tell them that he was an inside dog, but that didn't matter.) My grand daughter really played the guilt game, figuring that I would give her a Nintendo DS to make things better. This all happened the 21st of December. I begged my daughter to wait until after the first of the year...and she wouldn't back down. What the topper to the story is, her mother in law has a floor mop dog that has the worst temper of any animal I ever met. It has bitten everyone in sight. It had bitten the grand daughters several times, it bit my daughter, her husband, his uncle, the owner and a neighbor that reported the bite to animal control. Yet my daughter doesn't have the balls to tell her mother in law that she HAS to put the dog down like she demanded of me. To this day I hurt and feel soooo guilty about giving in to a spoiled little girl! You have to take a minute and realize that a lot of people now days are only interested in themselves. They haven't learned compassion and consideration for other people. They don't know how to give of themselves in any form, and they feel that if there is something in their way they should just run it over. I know that it is poor consolation, but be thankful that it wasn't one of your daughters out there retrieving the dog. I will say that the driver probably was drunk and didn't want anyone to find out about their drinking and driving. I am not making excuses for the a$$hole, I am very anti drinking and doing anything. I am saying a prayer for both you and your beautiful dog. I know that she is in that special part of heaven reserved for our pets waiting for us to return to them. She is watching you now, and hopes that instead of remembering her with pain in your heart, one day you will remember her with the love and fun memories that keep pain in the past.

I feel so sorry to hear that T_T they must be nuts, just forget it, maybe they will be got punishment for what they did later ... hope your next day will get better, lets pray for your dog, he might be in heaven right now, and maybe he will thanx to you for taking care of him ^.^

it's very sad what just happened to you..that driver is an idiot i think this kind of people don't deserve to live.

((((miller23231)))), I'm so sorry for your loss. Poor baby, I pray that she didn't suffer. Does this idiot, live in your neighborhood, maybe ask around to see if anyone knows who the truck belongs to. I would call the police after locating the idiot and seeing what can be done. If not, I would take a knife to it's tires, and spray paint dog killer on every spot of the suv, until I ran out of paint, then I would pick up a new can, and start all over again. This bas**rd shouldn't get away with this. Again, I'm so sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss.I have lost a kitten just 2 days ago.I get so mad and upset when people are cruel to animals and do things to harm them.I am sure it was hard on you to watch that happen.My parents dog got run over by a woman in a pick up truck and all she could say is it wasnt her fault then she left.My mom said she was going faster than the speed limit.Thankfully he survived after a big bill at the vet that my dad is still paying on but they paid it because they loved him and wanted him to live.I am sorry again for your loss and that our dog didint make it.

That is so sad. I am sorry for that. I really don't know why they did that. It was a cruel act. I hope they would realize that? Have you talked to those who beat your dog?

Its sad for sure. I have seen things like this happen. They would probably hit a human too. Too bad you didnt think to get the licences number cause that is truely a case of animal cruelity and is punishable by law.

Oh my gosh, I am so at a loss for words ! I am so sorry that someone would even do something like this and call themselves a human being, I am so very sorry about your poor little dog. Some people in this world don't know the meaning of "basic human kindness" nor do they have brains, nor a conscience. That person who did that isn't human, there is no way!!nobody who is could do that and keep going !! That is a very sick person .I'm very, very, sorry to hear about your little dog. I have always lived by the saying "What comes around goes around". And whoever did that wil get theres in the ends". some people today have no regard for human life ,so how can we expect them to care about others precious animals? I believe that the world has tilted of it axis, that is why everybody has lost their minds. I hope that things are getting better for you each day. Take care andgod bless.!

I am very sorry about your loss. But I can tell you that even with cruel people like that in the world, there is still some nice and decent people out there that will help others. I hope that even with the sad way your dog left that you think of the years that your dog was your pet and that were happy for you. Take care please.

However sick it is, some people actually get some kind of a joy out of running over animals... how this happens, is beyond me! Anyway, sadly when I was younger I experienced 3 dogs getting run over... once when I was walking down the road with my friends two strays had started to follow us... someone ran one of them over and did not even stop to ask if it was our dog... and once my german shepherd had gotten out of the back yard when i was alseep and someone had run over him but they had the courtesy to stop and ask if he was our dog... and once our beloved family pet Sandy, a beautiful yellow lab, had been outside playing in our yard w us and had started across the street to the pond when a telephone truck came speeding down our county road and ran over her... he then kept going until he reached the end of our street where he stopped to to his telephone work on a pole... anyway i ran after he screaming and eventually he came back down the road about an hour later to ask if we needed any help... my dog lived, but was very hurt and she was growling at his presence.... to say the least... people need to learn to be more compassionate... I think that has alot to do with our world being so screwed up right now... a lack of compassion!

Ahh, poor dog, I don't blame you for feeling horrible! But, I know exactly how you feel. I live down a road where my neibors will try to run over me and my dog while we are going for a walk. They actually aim for us! A lot of people don't have cats where I live becuase they are constantly being run over with no one to care. I hope you feel better.

Gee, it was very cruel to run your dog over and then not even to stop! People can be so cruel, especially when they see that the pet's owners are standing by! Yes, one wonders about basic human kindness, as sometimes they do that with people too!

He must have been drunk or in so much of a hurry, he did not watch what he was doing. He might not have seen the dog, but if he had not had the radio on that loud, he should have heard the shriek so there is no excuse. I gather his radio was blasting, because that would be the only way he could not hear her, but why did he not stop when he heard the bump? He could have run over a child just as well. He should have been paying attention instead of listening to the radio, and that plus the speed to get somewhere would be the only excuse. Unless he was running away from the law. Crooks usually do not basic human kindness.

I'm so sorry that happened to your poor dog. It makes me sad that people have become so cruel. Best Wishes...

If that driver intentionally run over your dog or even by accident and intentionally sped away without stopping and trying to help. I don't know why people can be so cruel. Where our sense of morality going to? Sometimes just to think of it is scary. If they can do it to lovable pets like dogs their just a few steps away from doing it to us people.

OMG, I am so sorry, I'm sorry as well that I saw your post, now I will be thinking about that poor doggie all night. That simple jerk that hit your dog, will pay for it some kind of way. Why are people so cruel. I am so so sorry for you. I do not like the thought of pets being hurt. Whenever there is a story on the news about animal cruelty my husband and I quickly turn the channel. I hope your little girl is ok.

Oh My! I am almost speechless here as that is the most awful thing that I have heard of in a long time. How could someone be that heartless. They definitely must not have a conscious (sp?). If I accidentally ran over someones pet I would be crying myself and not able to sleep because of it. I would be a basket case. This is really awful. I feel for you and your family. May you have the strength that you need during this sad and trying time.
