A hint: he said the person stepped back but the dog didn't!
It didn't run out despite your claims.

So the dog was not properly under control.

You claim that that is the driver's fault.....?



Yes!
Any driver that deliberately drives his vehicle in a way that causes it
to strike an object that is already in his path must be at fault.
This is what was said happened.
Now explain to me how it wasn't the drivers fault!!
I suppose if it had been a tree it wouldn't have been the drivers fault
either!




You didn't answer the earlier question. You're driving along a road at
less than the speed limit and a dog steps out 2m in front of you.
Inevitably you will hit it. When you got to the dog it was already in
your path.

Would you consider that to be your fault?



This is irrelevant, it is not what was described.

As it is you are making assumptions that don't work.
You assume I will be driving too fast to stop, just because you do doesn't
mean everyone does.

You assume that the dog is invisible, maybe you need better specs?
