I seriously can't believe the amount of people here that chastised OP for hitting a dog that ran out in front of him at night...Go over to the PETA forums instead. OP it's only a dog. I'm glad you're okay and I'm sorry about your car. You're a good guy for taking the dog to the hospital.

I care about my car more than any animals ( without owner ) which run across the street that I hit.

Accident happens, and this is not a PETA forum.

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.

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.

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.

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

kenchan · 03-28-2014, 03:20 PM

factory bumper + matched paint = can't tell difference from new car.

I ewas thinking I might as well go with an aftermarket bumper since I'm already replacing it, but worse comes to worse, that's what I'll do

your insurance should be able to give you the amount up to wat it would cost to replace and paint your stock bumper. from there, you pay the difference out of pocket. yah, might be a good opportunity.

Like I said before, I was talking in respects to my car and the fact I injured an innocent dog. It wasn't literally the worst thing I've ever been thru.

kenchan · 03-28-2014, 03:37 PM

id probably step out of the car and yell out "dogdamn it!"

kenchan · 03-28-2014, 04:41 PM
