Run after the dog and catch him before he gets into the road!

NO. This is not really an idiom it is a phrasal verb and this (above) is the literal meaning of the phrasal verb 'run after' not idiomatic.

It is hard to find an idiomatic meaning for this phrasal verb. I don't know one.

What is the difference between a consecutive sentence and a concurrent sentence in criminal cases?

If you are convicted of more than one offense, concurrent sentences run together with a max of the longest sentence. Consecutive sentences run one after the other. For example, say that you are convicted of three crimes with sentences of 5, 3, and 2 years. If the sentences are run concurrently, you would get out in 5 years less good time. If the sentences run consecutively, you would get out in 10 years (5+3+2) less good time. Eligibility for parole are treated the same. Consecutive means the years follow each other or are added on to the sentence. Concurrent means the years are served at the same time.
