Prayers please for a dog we tried to save.

We were stopped at a light at a very busy intersection, a six lane street and my daughters said "look a dog". I was parked in the middle lane and chased him to the side of the road, he was a pekinese, not the kind of dog you usually see out in the steet.

I went to pick him up and he snarled at me, I could see a collar and tag on him but I panicked, cars were honking at my car, the light was now green and my two daughters were in my car in the middle of the road. My daughter was yelling for me to grab him, I feel so bad but I was afraid he was going to bite, he was spooked and snarling at me, I chased him up to the gas station and took off, I was afraid my daughters would see him get hit.

None of us talked on the way home, we were eating mcdonalds in the car and I couldn't finish. In hindsight I wish I had a great big blanket I could have thrown over him, I feel terrible. We saw a falling star on our way home, I told the girls to make a wish for him.

I am so upset about it I can't stand it, I feel like a coward. If my daughters weren't in the car I would have pulled over and tried something, my daughter didn't say a word to me the whole way home. My other daughter said "could he have really hurt you that bad" I know she didn't mean it bad either she was just asking.

You did the best you could . Your daughters are the most important thing for you to protect. If you had been bitten and the dog sick how would that have been for them. You got him away from the road thats the best you could do. Hug to you for trying .

You tried to save him. That is more than many people would try to do. Sometimes there are things that are not in our power. You COULD NOT leave your children in harm's way in the car. You had no choice in this matter.
You tried your best, but it was not to be. Thank you for trying.
Hugs.

Thanks for the replies, I keep thinking about it, I wish I would have had my big leather jacket on I could have thrown that over his head or maybe I could have grabbed him by the nape of the neck.

It kind of makes me mad that nobody else got out of their cars to help me, they honked at my car when the light changed.
