people that hit an animal should always stop and help it. i dont see how anyone could just leave them in the road to suffer and die. our old house was right on a busy road. we shared a fence with the neighbor behind us. he was putting up a new fence so we had to chain harley when he was out until he got it finished. he told us we could let harley loose because his gate was closed and he could just run around both yards.

i get a frantic call at work from my daughter that harley had got hit. the neighbors wife went out their gate and forgot about harley and left it open. the lady that hit him stopped and watched him get up and go through their gate and onto our back porch. she was frantic with worry for him. i rushed him to the vet and he had some scrapes , but no broken bones or internal damage. he is a big boned large gsd. about 120 lbs. the vet said his size and being healthy saved him. she said she was doing about 50 miles an hour and he came out of nowhere and she couldnt stop in time. but at least she stopped to let us know what happened. she even came back the next day to check on him. she could not believe he survived it.
