In answer to your slightly horrifying question, when seeing a stray dog, if it has any tags you should take it and call the owner. Remember, some pet owners give substantial awards for their lost poodle. If it has no tags, it doesn't matter- don't purposefully run it over...Many states have laws against animal abuse, and the more humane thing to do is first, check to make sure the animal is responsive (from a distance) and not dazed. Approach slowly, put the dog in the back of the car, and either keep it, or take it to the ASPCA. (Not the pound. At least in Texas, the dogs are euthanized within 3 days.) If dog is not responsive, leave it. It could be rabid or afflicted with something else...

Of course I wouldn't "run it over" what a horrible thing to say!
I wouldn't keep it as a pet either as I already have two dogs and an 8 month old baby so my hands are full. Besides, if could be someone's pet which just had got out of their garden and wandered off!
I would first check to see if it had a collar and tag on so I could contact its owner. If it didn't then I would contact the police to see if they could find its owner. Or I'd take it to a local shelter or the vets if it seemed injured.

Why would you ask such a question? And why would you even think of doing such a thing to an animal? In your mind is there no other option? Of course I wouldn't run it over, and I doubt if very many people would.. And just because a dog is walking down the street. why does that mean he is a stray? Maybe he is someones pet, and he is lost. or he is just out walking....and for that you want to kill him? You have some serious issues!

Keep it. Already happened to me....twice.
Though it wasn't on the sidewalk, it was out in the country.
EDIT: Agreed with another user, isn't running your car onto the sidewalk illegal?
lmao. xD

I'd take it to a shelter, I keep a leash in my car in case I find any stray dogs.
I'd run YOU over though for that attitude, in a heartbeat.

I'd slow down and avoid hitting it. O_o
Also, I wouldn't uh, drive onto the sidewalk just to run it over.
