The poor doogie. I'm so glad to hear that he is fine. What a great ending!!
I do just want to add, that while hitting animals while driving is extremely sad, if it comes down to hitting an animal or crashing my family into trees, a ditch, a house, etc., I'm picking the animal.
Now this has never happened to me, I have only hit a squirrel once many years ago, and I felt extremely horrible and sad.
