That is so hard! Don't worry, you are a really good person. I know some people who peobably would have "just hoped the dog was in between the tires" One day the Orkin man came in and forgot to latch the gate closed. (He saw the dog in the house and was even friendly with him!) Nino got out and ran into the street. A car slammed on the breaks just before it hit him. I saw the whole thing happen and I was almost crying afterwards.
