But seriously, I would like to think you love your dog. I would imagine that you would feel bad if you hurt your dog, and your dog didnt know why you hurt it. Dogs are very loving animals. they want nothing more than to please their owner. What you did makes the dog feel unloved. It doesnt know what it did to be hurt by you. It may be hiding under the couch, but she still dont know what she did wrong. All she knows is that you hurt her, and she doesnt know why.
