Yesterday me and mini me were driving to the car wash and we say a dachshund on the side of the street. I slowed down for fear that it would run out. It was near some people mowing their lawn so u thought it was theirs. Looking back my gut told me to stop but I didn't. This morning a friend had a post about their missing dachshund with pictures. It was the same dog. In the comment section she said her baby was run over and killed. I had the opportunity to save her dog but I didn't. I feel regret today for not stopping.
I feel bad

I'm sure we have all had times when we didn't listen to that still small voice. I don't know what to tell you about it, when it's done it's done. You'll probably always have regrets though the pain will lessen.
My girls were in a rage at each other one morning, I had 6" of snow to get off the car and get the kids to school. I told them to get their coats, etc on and when I get back inside we need to go, we're running late. As we finally pulled away from the house I had the strongest impression I needed to stop, put one of the girls in the house, tell her I'll be right back and take the other two kids to school. I hesitated and thought I can't be late for work. I had a medical issue at the time and had missed a lot of time and was afraid of losing my job, so I kept going. When I went home for lunch a card from child services was stuck in my back door. I ended up going to the school and found out all three of my children had been talked to by a social worker. the daughter I should have left at home had scratches on her jaw line. I had no idea whatsoever had happened because when I came back inside her hat was on, coat zipped and collar up around her face. I never saw the scratches. Even though all 4 of us had the same account of how the morning went, I ended up on the child abuse register. I did all I could to refute the evidence and was turned down; the only other thing was pay out about $2500 to get a lawyer and go to court, and my husband and I didn't have the money at that time. (haven't since.) I found out years later what happened, the other girl had grabbed my sewing scissors and caught her sister in the face, but didn't realize the marks that would leave, and I got the blame. If I had listened to the Holy Spirit I would have let God take care of my job and kept my daughter home till the scratches healed. I know child services goes after stuff like that.

I went through a strange period a couple of years back where people
kept having accidents in front of me. Lol I tell you it got rather worrying.
I even started to wonder if I should give myself a wide berth!
Mostly it was people stuff, but one day I was walking along the street when
I saw a woman walking towards me. She had 2-3 bags of shopping in
one hand and two small dogs on extender leads in the other.
I just knew something was about to go wrong and as she got nearer to me
one of the dog leads slipped from her hand, sure enough the little dog ran into
the road just as a taxi was going by and the dog went under it. The car
screeched to a halt.
The woman just screamed and dropped everything including the second dog lead.
I managed to grab that lead to stop the other dog running off.
The taxi driver got out of the car, he was Asian but looked drip white with shock,
while this woman just continued screaming that her dog had got run over.
I just knew someone was going to have to look under that car, I have a really
strong stomache I've seen lots of things and so far have managed to keep
hold of my lunch. So I said a quick prayer and grimly walked to the front of the
car and started to bend down to look under expecting to see squished dog.
At that very second this little dog came running out from under the car wagging its
tail looking very forelone. Honest I've never seen three complete strangers look
so relieved we all could have hugged each other. Lol
So you know God answers prayers, even if it's about a little dog.

Sometimes that happens. There are many times though when people will "save" an animal only to be accused of stealing it later. Plus there's been a ton of times where dogs will come up to the road and when I pass them they just cross real quick or run back home. There was no way to predict what was going to happen. I don't think you should blame yourself at all (although it is a really sad thing to experience )
I'm sorry that happened bud.
Oh great now this thread's going to turn into some big debate about whether or not alcohol is biblical
