sorry to see that man....

a consolation, although you have car damage, you gained some good karma by not running over the dog

yeah i had an idea you swerved but imagine if there was a dog big enough to do that..

in cali driving test or school tells you to hit the little animals rather then getting yourself or other vehicles in danger.

The most important thing is that your okay and your not in a wheel chair.
Second, sorry about the car accident damage. Is there serious frame damage ?
Man, if I hit a tree in my X car it would be for sure totalled!

Good Luck

well i towed it to the shop today, and it doesn't seem likes theres frame damage, however theres a lot of suspension work to be done and its going to be cutting it close if they are gonna salvage it or not...........I'll find out hopefully by the end of the week. I took some more pictures today as I was getting it towed to the shop and their was more light out.........

Sorry to read about your ride. Sounds like you were not injured. That's one lucky dog. Did you have a chance to call Santa Clara animal control?
My dog salutes you.....


Like the other guys said, good karma is looming your way. And keep us posted on your ride.
