When your job is to drive a car down every street on the planet, taking photos to create a map of everything on Earth, you're probably going to accidentally hit some animals who dart out in front of you.

 

That may have happened on a dusty road in Chile, as Google's Street View mapping cars were recording Meza Bell 2815-2861 in the Quinta Normal, Región Metropolitana.

 

WARNING: Some of these images might be a little upsetting. We can't confirm what happened exactly, but it doesn't look good for the dog. There is one ray of hope. One image suggests that the dog may merely have been rolling in the dust as the car went by — that scenario happened with a donkey that everyone thought in 2013 had been hit by a Google Street View car.

That wouldn't work around here. I'm not sure what it is like in Chile, but here if you hit a domestic animal you are supposed to pull over and call it in. I'm also not certain if this is a rule of law or a neighborly etiquette.

I really doubt it would simply pass unnoticed in Chile either.

Someone would have to complain and to be able to prove that there actually was a driver in the Google car.
