Roadside Confessions

Was biking along the road on an evening. It was in January and therefore pretty cold. I was driving home from gym when I suddenly heard strange noises. Like there was someone screaming and squeeking or something. Because it was already getting dark, I hurried to look around and found a dog on the roadside, bound to a fence. He already looked very tired and exhausted and I guess he has been there for a while.
Then I noticed a car which was approaching us, so I hid behind a tree because I didn't want anyone to see me and think I bound that dog to that fence. The car passed, I was happy that no one saw me, I got on my bike and drove home. It took me a while before I realised I left the dog in his terrible position without helping him but I was almost at home and it had got dark, so I went home.

I don't know what happened to the dog but I feel terrible. Please please dear god, I really hope someone else helped the poor guy...
I confess I am an asshole.
