Dont worry Cindy, Im not a animal hater. I have 2 dogs myself and I did stop to check on the dog. He just jumped up, looked at me like "what the hell was that?" and walked off seemingly uninjured. I must admit at the time I could have cared less about the mut that destroyed the front end of my new car, but once i was home and saw it wasnt as bad looking with the dent pushed out I was fine also. Oh but you werent worried about me though right?? ha ha
