So answer the question. If you had been the patient, what would you
want to happen? Dead dog or dead you?

It was a dead dog this time, next time it might be a pushchair.

It could be. For example, somebody could be nattering to a friend and
step out into the road with pushchair without looking. It's more
likely that some arbitrary car would have knockd the whole lot flying than
an ambulance

Why do you keep trying to justify bad driving?
Even an emergency vehicle is required to be able to stop before they hit
something.
The fact that the dog was there and the driver didn't allow enough room to
stop shows that the driver is not very good.
You can try and change the facts but anyone can look them up on Google so it
makes you appear rather silly.



Do you want ambulance drivers running people down to get there faster?

No, but I do want them to get there quickly. It would appear that people
are generally supportive of emergency vehicles going faster than the
normal speed limit and for other vehicles and pedestrians to make way for
them.


They should have avoided the dog, they didn't so it shows a problem that
needs rectifying, either by training or by replacement.

The dog can be replaced, that's true. It could be trained, as could the
owner.

You are still trying to blame the drivers error on someone else! Why?
