1) As a veterinary tech I can tell you from experience that it is very rare that a small dog or puppy survives getting hit by a car and further vet care would be pointless if the dog was already dead except to maybe send the dog to be cremated, but without owner permision, this would also be pointless...(the op didnt specify whether pup died or not from being hit by a car, anyway) 2) Nowhere in Op's fml story did they say they drove off to leave the dog there, and even if they did, what else could they have done if the dog was dead? (especially if the dog was in more than one piece... sorry for the mental images but it happens a lot with dogs and cars). If dog wasnt damaged, but died, taking dog to vet would result in extremely large vet bill for cremation and possibly a lawsuit from owners for not giving consent when they find out (sometimes pups do crawl under fences without owners knowledge it could happen to anyone so not owners fault either) 3) Sick doesnt always mean stomach issues or a cold, although i enjoy ice cream when i have a cold especially if I have a sore throat... once again Op didnt specify their 'illness'... it also could have been refering to a mental low, which could be called sick because you are not feeling up to your normal self... FYL to the Op and her dad for such tragic events.

Fail.
