You just never know.....Of course this was 20 years ago when dogs were still dogs and not furry people....still I was shocked.

Glad you're OK.

Thanks man, I was filled with a feeling of guilt last night but as David said, owners should be more responsible.

I wasn't join more than 25 when it happened, and I really do hope he's ok. My question is what should I do, I have a close friend who will take care of installing a painting a bumper for me but I want to know if any after market front bumper will fit my car since its a 13' model? I know we have the drls and no other aftermarket bumpers I've seen have the slots in them for the lights. Any suggestions? What would you guys do?

sucks. i would just call up insurance and do a one vehicle collision claim... since the dog wasnt airborne i dont think it can be a comprehensive claim...? if that's going to hurt your premium ask up to how much your insurance will cut a check without affecting premium. they might be able to do this for you.

anyway, just get it fixed and get it over with.

GL!

If I'd hit someone I'd say it was a dog too

How does anyone on this site know why that dog was out? I personally can't make a judgement about something I have no clue about.

The only fact I know is someone posted that he hit a dog and his only concern was his car. Now I see he does have remorse and thats a good thing as none of us know the circumstances revolving around the dog. Why anyone can say the owner is a bad dog owner when they don't have a clue is besides me.

ElVee · 03-28-2014, 01:06 PM

A pack of dogs out at night? Yeah, it might be a GOOD thing you hit one. Just sayin.'

What if he had hit a racoon/opossum/deer/squirrel in the exact same situation? What makes us never say anything about those animals, but a dog loose is another story? I'm all for flogging animal cruelists and I have just as much love for animals and our earth as the next guy, but he didn't hit a child or a human being. Likewise, OP probably couldn't have done anything differently.

I think it will be, because the dog was moving.

As long as it's not a stationary object it should be.

hard to believe that a dog caused that much damage especially when you were only doing 25mph

If you're familiar with how flimsy the bumper is, I am from installing a cold air intake as well as multiple filter recharges, you wouldn't find it hard to believe.

kenchan · 03-28-2014, 02:46 PM

try riding into a wall at 25mph on a bicycle. it might hurt...

Mt Tam I am · 03-28-2014, 02:48 PM

What did the driver do wrong? Driving at 25 MPH must be the limit or less. So unless he steered for the dog, it was an accident for him and a dog owner who does not care about bringing thier dog in after dark.

Sorry about your accident.
