If you had asked him why he was so angry, he normally would have responded with a quick barb to the effect of "I'm not angry, you just don't understand". However, on this day, things played out much differently. Yes. He had intended to hit the dog. Yes... he knew it would come charging out of the lane way, as was its custom. Yes, if this were a murder, it would be considered premeditated. But it was the unsuspecting passenger that was left feeling sick to the core, eyes downcast, trying to understand what had just occurred.
