It's actually a poem but it's in the form of a story and I couldn't find any other place to post it. I read last year it in a college level english literature book, it was probably written later 20th century, but there's a chance it was written early 21st.

It's about a young adult, I'm almost certain he was 17 (and that may have been in the title) driving down the road, a truck driven by an old man swerves and his dog falls out the back. The young adult, pulls over, chastises the old man, points out the dog is dying, and the old man leaves it up to the young man to kill the dog. He does so with a rock in a field.

It's about coming of age and such.
