Recall didn't matter that day. He was killed by the _single_ car to come

And unfortunately, the nasty "amusement" of deliberately hitting loose
animals tends to be more common in rural areas.

I was just talking to a guy Friday whose dog had been run over on a
dirt road by neighborhood teenagers. The dog was fenced in but
happened to get out. The family's little boy was trying to call him
in when he barked at a car on their little dirt access road and the
teenagers in the car chased him down and ran him over for barking at
them. The teenagers got in trouble for it, but that didn't bring the
dog back or erase the little kid's memories of watching his beloved
dog be run down. Very sad.
