Look Before you Cross

It was Friday night. After a pleasant evening worship and meal with some relatives of the Guifarro family, we were all walking back to the house. As we were making the short walk back to their house, which is right next door, I witnessed one of the most traumatizing experiences I've had. There was a German Shepard looking dog that was just kind of wandering around in the road. Out of the corner of my eye I saw headlights coming and thought the dog might.....but no - BAM!! The dog walked right out in front of a taxi that was moving very fast. I could fill in more details about how the dog flew through the air into the ditch but I'll spare you. I couldn't believe I had just seen something so awful right before my eyes. I hope it died quickly because I hate the thought of suffering. I guess I'm not to desensitized because the event was pretty jolting for me and it will probably be burned in my memory for the rest of my life. Even if there was a bright yellow "Dog Crossing" sign on the road it wouldn't have done any good. The roads in Honduras are a dangerous place to be. To bad the dog had to die for me to be reminded of that again.
