no way to tell till a body shop actually does a break down and looks under the bumper cover. There's actually lots of stuff under there to tear up. How big a dog was it?

My guess - about $250-300 for a repaint.

Ok, so you have damage that can easily be fixed with probably a $300 repaint.

More importantly, was the dog ok?

Sorry for the damage to your vette, but hope the dog is alright. Judging from the pic, I doubt it.

Usually, when you hit an animal it is covered under the comprehensive portion of your insurance policy. Check with your company.

Sorry for your misfortune.
