<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Last night I was driving home and an animal (I thought it was a cat) ran out in front of my truck.  I tried to stop, but it ran out too quick and nothing could be done to avoid running it over.  I turned around and went back to make sure that I didn't have to drive around and find the cat's owner and break the bad news.  It turned out to be a raccoon, which was a relief.  It was still alive though, and I could tell it wouldn't live (something about it's back half being 3/4" thick).  I didn't want it to suffer, so I drove over it again to make sure that it was dead and wouldn't suffer.  Was I right in doing so?  I didn't take pleasure from killing it and I feel bad, but it seemed the best thing to do at the time.
<bot>: Accidentally ran over a cat, turned out to be a raccoon.  Wasn't dead, so I double tapped to end misery.  Was I right?
