It would help if you made reasonable sentences-- otherwise, I am liable to call them 'odd' on content. We do not 'run' out of cars-- there is no way to get an adequate start-- we jump out of them: I jumped out of the car and hunted him down like a dog.

Thank you Mister Micawber.

Is the last part "like a dog" necessary? or Can I end the sentence after "hunted him down"?

No, not necessary at all, Gary-- I just added the phrase for 'colour'.
