So, I've worked before my local ACOs before and I can say that: Dog do sometimes hide away if they are dying, as do most animals. Domesticated species tend to do it less but you see it fairly often (usually with cats though) ACOs on the emergency shift usually deal with live animals that are seriously hurt, rabid animals, or reports of animal cruelty. The dead animals aren't going anywhere, so they deem it low priority. Also, most of the time there is no night shift - just an ACO on call - which might be the case here. They're probably home in bed or something. Sucks for you, but what can you do.
