re: Have you ever ran over a dog?

Terrible experience. I ran over one of my student’s dog on the way to school one morning as the student was standing near the road waiting for her bus. Nothing I could do, deep ditch on right side of the road, oncoming car in left lane, and another car following closely that prevented me from slamming on the brakes.

When she came to my class that day, I took her out in the hall and apologized profusely. It didn’t really matter, but I couldn’t just let it go without saying something to her.
