falconjade tells us more.
OP here! The dog got out when the old man who rents out a room in my friends house - though he'd been repeatedly warned not to - let the dog out. The dogs not very well-trained and does not come when you call him, which is why we keep him inside except for when he goes on walks, on a leash. We had all been getting ready for our schools semi formal so we ran out into the cold in bare feet and dresses while we tried to make sure the dog didn't run away. He was running back towards our friends house when the car hit him. My friend lives beside a public school so the dog was hit in a school crossing zone, so there was no reason for the driver to be going fast enough to not be able to hit the brakes in time, but evidently he was. Fortunately the dog is a massive German Shepard. When he got hit, there was a terrifying bang followed by horrid whimpering. We all thought he was going to die. I'm trained in first aid and checked for injuries on the dogs body, and he seemed fine, except for a scrape on his eyebrow, so I took him back to the house. The bumper of the car was knocked clean off and it seems the dog has a concussion but he will live, but the driver keeps showing up to my friends house, who can't afford a vet bill, let alone the repairs cost.

You train the dog NOT to door dart. If it takes a shock collar set at the door, so be it. Mine learned by having a friend with a water hose outside the door, hiding around the corner and waiting. If your dog is a door-darter, and for some reason cannot be broken of the habit or isn't broken of it yet, then it is the OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY to use baby gates, install a second door, etc. to keep the dog inside. Sucks for the dog, sucks to lose a dog, REALLY sucks to have to drag the dead dog off and comfort the friend, and really really sucks to have a ranting insensitive ass... but unless it's a really weird situation (painter let the dog out or similar) it's the owner's fault all this happened.
Bryan that is all.
Wow. That's horrific
I'm sorry for your friend. Poor dog, the ass behind the wheel can go to hell. Sounds like Brian Griffin's death
BUT YOU'RE FROM CANADA

HELL NO! You walk up to the driver, ask him whose gonna fix his nose & while he's looking confused, BREAK IT!! What a asshole. I'm so sorry for your friend, & the dog. That asshole. I praise you for being able to pull it out of the road. You're a amazing friend.(:

This is going to make me sound like a bad person. I did read what the Op said, it is in yellow if you would like to read it yourself. The old man let the dog out of the house and it went into the street. While a terrible tragedy, the friend is still at fault. It was a horrible moment but that is what you risk when having an animal. The driver should not be harrassing them, but legally they are responsible for the damage to the car.

Well technically he is correct. If the dog was in a yard/on a chain/etc there never would have been an issue.

Did you direct him to a separate area in which he could go **** off?
I think that if he keeps demanding, then your friend should call the cops. He's the one who was driving so fast, and so not only can he be charged for speeding, and harassment, but also be forced by the court to pay for the dog's bills. As they say, the pedestrian always has the right of way, even if it's a dog!
