Oh, no! Meesterboom has the killer instinct! Seriously man. as my hubby used to say "💩 happens!" If an animal runs out in front of the car, there is little you can do. Having lived in the country most of my life, it is inevitable that you will run over an animal at some point. You were lucky it was a squirrel and not something larger like a deer.
I was a bit pissed off with myself that I saved a little. I shouldn't have because as you say - shit happens! It did look a cute little bugger right enough
