I have a minor understanding of physics, but I don't understand this story at all. According to Ananova:
A miracle pup clung to a speeding car for more than 15 miles after being knocked down.
The motorist, Marco Menozzi, didn't even stop when he mowed down the one-year-old pooch while doing 70mph on a side road in Cozze, southern Italy.
But he hit the dog so hard he was embedded in the grill under the bonnet of the Peugeot 207 and managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped.
Vets have treated the stray for a broken leg and bruising and he's now in a police pound looking for new owner.
"He's a very lucky boy. He was saved because he was hit so hard. Any softer and he would have bounced off the car and been crushed under the wheels," said a police spokesman.
I wonder what your reaction is after you stop for gas and notice a dog is living inside the grill of your French sports car. This is like some horror movie where you think you kill something and then you turn around and there it is, staring at you. Only, in this movie, everyone is rooting for the dog because they're pretty sure you're a douchebag because you drive a Peugeot 207.
Actually, a Peugeot 207 is NOT a "sports car" it's classified as a "supermini". That means, slightly larger than a Toyota Yaris, but smaller than a Honda Civic. Also, douchebags don't drive them. I have 3.

Really? Last time I checked, anybody who owns three cars and uses the term "supermini" is kind of a douchebag.

Yes how dare they wag their finger at this man who hit a dog and didn't bother to stop.
I mean, geez! He could have gotten a dent! D:

I love how the article is totally biased against the driver. Saying how the dog was "mowed down" and calling the dog a "miracle pup."
Plus, he's driving a freaking Peugeot. There's no way you stop a good cruise in a Peugeot unless there is beer and/or boobs involved.
