Today, I found out that when you hit the neighbor's dog with your car, they might chase you a mile with a shotgun. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that when you chase a couple of squirrels off your porch for irritating your dogs, sometimes they chase you back. FML
Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML
Today, I found out how much damage my neighbor's 5-year-old kid can do to my brand-new BMW with a baseball bat. FML
Today, while on my run, I was attacked by my neighbor's new dog. It apparently didn't like me running past their house and broke free from its chain. I now have stitches and was just told that I'm probably being taken to court for the emotional distress I caused her and the dog. FML
Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML
Today, I entered my neighbors’ yard around a shorter corner than usual. Their old dog is getting a bit slow, but unfortunately only in her head: By the time she recognized me as harmless, she had already run up and bitten me. FML
Today, when I stepped outside, I found out my neighbors forgot to leash their mean-ass dog when he promptly started charging at me. If not for the black cat who lives outside my house, who I've fed before, jumping in and somehow single-handedly whooping his ass, I'd probably be dead. You don't fuck with stray cats. FML
Today, my neighbor called the cops on me, claiming I'd threatened him with a gun. Despite zero proof, they took me to the station and gave me hell. I guess what I've learned today is that you should never offend your crazy neighbor by breaking up with his daughter. FML
Today, I saw my neighbor's delinquent kid shooting squirrels with a BB gun. Shocked and furious at his cruel behavior, I told him to stop, with the threat of telling his parents. He responded by shooting me in the nuts and running away in a fit of laughter. FML

And this is exactly the reason why you should keep your pets in your house or backyard at all times. Unless the dog escaped ofcourse then it really sucks, but still not enough to try and shoot someone. OP, if I were you, I'd try to sell my house and go and live on the other side of town or something. Better to move away then be shot in the face in your sleep...

Poor Dog. And dude you that's what happens when you kill an incent animal ... You get chased by a country hick with a Shotgun and a lot of nerve. YDI, don't kill another dog again.

Its only a dog. If your neighbours really cared about it they should have had it tied up, or inside a fenced area. If you hadn't hit it, eventually someone else would have. Your neighbours are the ones at fault here. The owner is responsible for the safety of their animal.

Most states DO NOT have leash laws. Many countys DO have leash laws. Leash laws are made at the local level rather than state or federal. It's the drivers fault for not being aware of his surroundings. There is no excuse for what you did. It could've easily been the neighbor's child instead. Would you still have ran?

If the dogs owner let their dog loose on the freeway and it got hit by a car, would you blame the car drivers on the freeway? No, you'd blame the owner for being irresponsible! In this case the dogs owner let the dog loose on a residential road. The driver is similarly not at fault. The OP should sue the dog owner for the cost of damage to their car and maybe even the emotional distress the accident has caused.

1. the OP never said the dog died - so it might not be "murder" 2. it's definitely not murder if it's accidental - which is not specified in the FML 3. both a human's life and an animal's life were at stake here. which one has more value?
