Can't say I blame the owners of the car for not stopping...assuming you're in the states, where somebody so much as getting mud on their shoes can get considered a legal liability...they probably thought two things...
1 - Securing the pet, and training it not to do shit like that is your responsibility as an owner (I agree...some dogs that normally wouldn't do stuff like that, can and will under certain circumstances...but that's not what the driver would be thinking), and they were probably pretty shaken up, may near have lost conrtol themselves.
2 - If they DO hang around, even if only to help...are they likely to get sued? These days you just don't know...

That said, sounds like a horrific, fucked up way to lose a pet...losing an animal friend in any way is hard, knowing that their last moments were more than likely of panic, pain, terror, and confusion, that's even worse. At least you were there for them.
Sorry.
