  • "Yes"  Driving through a residential area, a small dog ran toward my van so I stopped.  His owners were standing in the street watching (don't know why they didn't come get their dog) and the dog kept barking at my rear tire.  So I thought I'd slowly move away ... bad idea.  Ran over the dog's leg.  So I stopped again and got out to talk to the people.  They said I'd done all I could and didn't blame me ...  I still felt bad though.

    At least you didn't drive away without a concern for the small dog or the people at least you were responsible.  Still, it is always a very sad accident.

    I try my best not to, but I've hit (and been hit by) a variety of animals while driving.

    No.

    A dog ran into my car (A Newfundland) and ran straight into it when I was at a stop sign.  BAM.

    Those dogs are big.  

    He put a big dent in my door and when I went to try and find him and see if he was hurt, (he had to be, but maybe not)...

    I couldn't find him.

    That was my only animal mayhem story.

    Same thing happened to me in VA. It ran off and left no damage, even though it was quite large.

    Mostly squirrels, other rodents and such. Unfortunate but unavoidable at highway speeds. Just a quick thump in the road.

    No, thank goodness, not that I can recall.  I'm sure I would remember.

    Several rabbits on country roads - they're in plague proportions in some parts of the bush,  so it's unavoidable. One pigeon that apparently had a death wish - flew straight into my grille. And hundreds of bugs.
    What's the last thing that goes through the mind of a bug as it hits your windshield?
    Its a$$.

  • I saw/have the movie "Rabbit-Proof Fence."  That was an interesting story!

    Yes. Last December I hit a deer with my car. I had to get a different car.

    "Ouch!" on both accounts.  No pun intended...

    I have run over a few squirrels and an opossum. I had a deer run run into the side of my car when I was 20.
