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.

By the time I saw him it was too late. I got out to see if the dog was ok and but he had gotten up and ran off with the other 2 dogs that were with him. 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. :D 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.

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.

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

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.
