Afternoon guys.
I have a pure bred working kelpie, And this arvo he escaped. The missus and mum legged it after him, But i jumped into the misses mum's AU to go pick them and the dog up. I found them around the corner, So the missus threw the dog on the front seat, and i drove back home. As i pull up the driveway i stop a little quick and the dog faceplants into the windscreen, putting a huge crack in it  Expensive mistake on my behalf i must admit. But it didnt phase the dog. No yelp, just jumps out the car, And continues running around the yard like nothing ever happened. Surely it had to hurt him. Takes a little force to crack the windscreen the way he did. Also, How much is a new windscreen haha  Heres a photo 66455_416501758425011_948564053_n.jpg |

Statement to the insurance company?
"Well, actually, the dog was wearing his seatbelt. No, I really don't know how or if he got out of it as I was busy concentrating on stopping the vehicle!"

Are you sure there wasn't a stone chip already in the screen? It may have been a lucky shot, as it were, and there was already the start of a crack before the dog got there.

Check to see if windscreens are covered under your insurance. Just had mine replaced in the falcon. One "free" windscreen a year that doesn't affect no claim policy.
