A Dog’s Rights
The National Canine Defence League has recently pointed out that dogs have the same legal right on roads as human pedestrians, a fact not generally known. If a motorist runs over a dog he is legally bound to stop, take the name and address of the owner, if present, and of any witnesses, and report the accident to the police within 24 hours. A motorist who drives on after running over a dog can be prosecuted for cruelty to animals.
