You did the right thing not swerving to protect the dog and endangering your family.

I hope you get past this in a quick fashion. The owner of the dog is responsible for the damge to your car, I would make him pay for it. Was a police report filed?

I would have him pay for the undercarraige cleaning as well. I would not do it myself. I would make him pay for it to be done preofessionally.

I hate people that do not look after their pets like that. I am always careful to make sure my dog is secure.

When in NC where I have no fence she is always on a leader outside, even though we are in the boonies she could get away and find a busy road and I could not deal with that.
