[a fit called umeko]

well, i was driving to work going about 45 mph looking straight ahead when all of the sudden this small black dog is running in front of my fit. i didn't even see it coming and i didn't even have a chance to brake before i hit the poor doggy. so when impact happened i was like wtf! + omGZ!. so right after i looked in my passenger side mirror and i see the poor dog rolling and tumbling against the concrete and i pull into a parking lot but i can't see the dog anywhere on the street. i'm thinking there is no way the dog just got up and walked away after that impact. so i call my dad to ask him wtf i should do and i'm hysterical and crying. so he tells me to get out and check my car to see if it's ok and also to look for the dog. i get out and look at my car and everything appears to be ok, but honestly i was more concerned about the dog at that point. so i got back in my car and drove around to try to see if the dog was anywhere and i see this truck that's stopped in the road and i see a little black lump on the side of the road. so i pull over again and get out of my car and i'm crying and saying i didn't even see the dog coming and i asked the guy if the dog was ok, but..unfortunately the dog did not make it. i'm pretty sure he was dead on impact. i must have broken his neck or something. there was no blood on my car or on the asphalt around the dog. but really, i was a mess and i felt so bad. the guy that stopped was the pool guy of the dog's owners, and he said that he was opening the gate to get into the people's backyard and the dog bolted out and started running. so he had been driving around trying to find the dog, but i guess it was too late because the dog got to the busy street that i was on. but it trips me out because the dog got passed 3 lanes of traffic, and in the last lane i'm the one who had to have hit him i'm pretty sure the pool guy felt just as bad as i did because it was his fault the dog got out. oh god but it was horrible. so the guy said he had already called animal control and the dog's owners and told them. he was trying to make me feel better by telling me it's not your fault, it's ok, etc. and random people that were walking on the street were telling me it happens to the best of us and atleast you pulled over because some people wouldn't. but i still feel horrible as hell for killing that poor DOG. my aunt said she was surprised my little car killed the dog. FIT is hardcore. anyway, i'm pretty sure the dog just hit where my license plate frame is because it's bent a little, but there is no body damage or anything. i'm so lucky for that, but unfortunately the dog wasn't so lucky. i'm not sure why didn't see the dog coming. i've seen dogs running across the street before and always stopped in time. it pretty much sucked. anyway, here's some pictures of the crooked plastic license plate mount.


you can barely tell in the pictures, but the frame usually touches the body of the car and now it's bent a little forward, not that BIG of a deal, but still looking to tweak it back.

i'm thankful that everything else was ok. i think if the dog didn't hit right in front on the license plate that i probably would have had some other damage. does anyone know where i can buy a new one of the license plate mounts that is attached to the underside of the car or do you think it will just bend back into place?
