I hit a dog once, out in the sticks. Killed him dead. Park in the drive way, walk up to the house, "Im sorry I hit your dog, but I thought you'd like to know".
"Oh, that's OK I'm glad he's dead, thanks for getting rid of him....."
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.

Sorry about your accident.

Thank you everyone. I looked around the neighborhoods nearby early this morning and found a dog that seemed to be the one I hit, I took him to a nearby animal center and he's gonna b fine. I had no intention of hitting this animal, like i said we have no street lights in this cities' neighborhoods and I didn't see him till it was too late, i reacted the best I could and that was y I only caught him with the side of the bumper and not dead on. This bumper is extremely flimsy and not very durable to any impact. Any ideas on what bumper I should go with, since I'm going to have to replace it anyways. Will there be any fitment issues since my car is a 13' model? All your responses are appreciated in advanced.

Just so you know. I apologize to God every time I hit an animal. Except for raccoons. I hate raccoons.
Accidents happen.

I was referring to the worst night of my life pertaining to my car and the fact the I injured an innocent animal. Owners should be more protective of their animals, it's in no way the dog's fault. But it was a bad night, don't think anyone on here would've liked this happening to their Z.
