Your story reminds me of the time I hit and killed a dog. He just ran right out in front of me and there was no way I could stop in time. Of course, I stopped but the disturbing thing was the owner came out and the dog was dead and I was just in shock and he came out and was complaining about the "stupid dog" and grabbed him by the collar and just picked him up by the collar and carried him off. I still have the image in my head. I cried all the way to work but I don't think his owner even cared. It was just so sad....
