about 12 years ago I was driving down a side street, watching for the neighbourhood children....so I didn't hit them....I was still fairly new to driving at that time....well a young mid sized dog ran out, in front of my tire...right in front of his family....including kids...i pulled over and cried as we watched the poor fellow puke up his insides...and die....it took a good 20 minutes...the owners were real nice about it...they knew it was an accident as they saw what happened....
