I have on a good number of occasions come across carcasses of dogs strewn on highways and always wondered how the dogs became victims of unruly motorists in spite of their cautious nature. I have made an interesting observation that dogs relate poorly to moving inanimate objects like vehicles in motion. They don't recognise them as posing a clear and present danger. You are likely to see a driver hooting to scare away the dog with the latter paying scant attention. The magnanimous of these drivers allow the poor animals to pass while others relish in scoring a hit as if it was a game leaving the hapless animal with fatal injuries or even instant death. Only cross the road with your pet on a tight leash.
