Nothing to say but ‘I’m sorry’

We were driving home from a shopping trip Saturday afternoon.
We pulled onto the road that leads to our home.
I was watching two of our neighbor’s larger dogs, who were chained up to trees along the road.
That’s how I missed one of their smaller dogs running under my car.
The poor thing never had a chance.
My first dog, Scrappy, was killed by a train when I was in first our second grade, so I know the hurt the loss of a pet can cause.
I work with words every day, and I wish I had good ones for a situation like this.
Instead, all I can think of to say, both that day and now, is, “I’m sorry.”
