I saw a stray dog today as I drove myself and others to our friends' place for brunch, a brindle mutt, like mine was.

The dog was in the middle of a side street, trying to eat something off the concrete. Neither of the somewhat nearby humans seemed attached to it.

A turning car honked to get past and the dog darted onto the sidewalk. After that I was past where I could watch, and lanes of traffic away.

I didn’t know what to do.

I don't know what I should have done.
