The man who was ruthlessly mowed down by a Maserati driver as he walked his dog through Sherman Oaks Tuesday survived the Holocaust and the Ukrainian war, his family said.

Andriy Korshunov and his beloved pooch were left for dead after the Maserati smashed into them and fled the scene, his grieving daughter told ABC 7.

“He didn’t help him … He killed two souls,” Ilana Ceitlin told the outlet.
