    Because you can blame an animal, you can't blame a rock.
    She didn't hit an animal m'am.
    You need a new bumper cover.

    Pretty sure when she was turning around she got too close to a rock, wall, concrete, pile of dirt or gravel, etc.
    This is not a cheap fix.

    Saying an animal ran out in front makes it sound like she couldn't control it, vs the likely truth that she hit a rock or something not being careful.

    If she's just a friend then I'd try to get her to fess up...but if it's your girlfriend or wife you should probably abide by the "you can either be right or you can be happy, pick one" rule.

    Unless the person tried to “clean it up, they are most likely full of shit. Take a good look for any other damage.
