Luckily my kids were NOT in the car with me!
I was driving on a busy 4 lane road this afternoon.
I didn't see the little dog running across the road until the last minute.
It was too late to stop and I was hoping that if I kept moving the dog would stay in the middle of the car . . . and not get hit by the tires.
And then I felt my right tire roll over something.
I felt awful. I still feel awful.
I stopped the car right there in the lane. I wasn't sure about what to do. I got out and looked back and saw that poor little dog laying on the ground. His back legs twitched for a minute or two . . . and then stopped moving.
I was waiting to hear crying kids or an angry owner to come and yell at me.
But no one came.
A man who was waiting at the crosswalk came and just picked up the dog by the legs like a rabbit and walked away with it.
He didn't even look at me.
I couldn't tell if he was the owner or not . . . or if he was upset or not.
I realized I was blocking traffic . . . so I just got back in my car and drove away.
How awful!
I am so sorry!

Oh how sad! When I saw the title of your post I thought you were going to say that you got your kids a dog! I'm the glad the kids weren't with you, that would have been so much worse.
I'm sorry! Things like that are so hard for me to forget and move on from. :(
Oh, I am so sorry.
