    Don't cross post.

    BTW this is a legal issue. You damaged someone's property and left the scene of an accident.. You could be in a lot of trouble.

    He is in no trouble whatsoever, it's actually the other way around. As a dog owner you are responsible for your dog and hence you have to keep your dog under control. No matter whatever way it's twisted or turned at the end of the day the owners of the dog haven't got a leg to stand on.

    You only hit the dog (allegedly) because it was on the road and not under the control of its owner. They will be paying for any damage to your car.

    No, the dog possibly damaged the car.

    OP, afaik you are supposed to report the incident to the Gardaí - so they can investigate and possibly prosecute the dog owner.

    I see there is a thread in Legal Discussion on this, so probably best to continue the discussion there.

    Not your ornery onager
