I hit my dog when he ran across the street to chase a cat and was almost eaten by a pitbull. I ran after him and screamed and hollered like a mad woman and everyone in the park stopped what they were doing and looked at me running across the field. I was sooooo mad at him, I dragged him calmly into the car, cursing at him under my breath and then I punched his behind and he yelped. I felt sooooo bad about it.
