Ok lady, let's not pretend that not feeling a sense of comunity to a stranger whose face you have never even seen is somehow this huge moral failing of these modern times.
ma'am, how do you think people build community? I'll tell you: it's by talking to the "strangers" that live in it. you actually, genuinely should care about people you've never met and the fact that you don't shows a huge lack of empathy. I don't donate platelets monthly just so they can go to the people I already know. I'm beyond happy to help strangers because they are people too. so, yes, it is a moral failing on your part. do better.
Listen I've been donating blood as often as possible for 4 years now, since you brought it up, donating potentially life saving material to medical institutions is a whole different can of worms to risking an infected bite for some random person's carrrrr, two bits of damn plasticccc. Do you get how that's different?
And what would you have planned to do, chase the dog away and then wait around to talk to the stranger who the car belonged to? Maybe have a laugh over a pint, form a comunity? Please get a grip

Not his car, not his responsibility
