i would've had to have been restrained if someone who just ran over a dog had shown me such callousness. he would've left with a few bumps and bruises for sure...

I was really close to knocking the guy out after he shrugged his shoulders about it. But Im not in it for the reward, it was the right thing to do. Im sure nobody else would have stopped, as most people didnt, they would just drive by and watch me carry the pup to the sidewalk. From what I understood someone left the gate open and in which case, when they let the dog out in the morning, he walked out of the gate and onto the street.
And I agree Melissa... dogs are animals. They will sniff their way out of an open-gated area. There are a couple dogs in my neighborhood that didnt leave a fenced area when someone left a gate open, but it's because they were trained, mature, older dogs... this pup was only a year old and didnt know any better.
