yeah this is important, im in the final stage of pre-production for my movie but i need help because a dog gets run over and i need to create a fake dead dog. how am i gonna do this? i was tihnking stuffed animal but the scene is pretty important because thats what the whole story revolves around. how can i create a dead dog?!? can someone help please!?

I know a way... but your not going to like it...

just cut away to inside the car and have them hit a speed bump or something.

Just do what they did with the polar bear in Lost and don't actually show the dog. Just show an out-of-focus tuft of fur in the bottom third of the frame with the actors in the background looking down at it.

haha **** use a real dog. yeah i liek that blurring idea, it would make the audeince tihnk a little more also. thanks.

What scares me is WHY did you wait until the final stages of pre-pro to start wondering how you will make a dead dog? If it is that relevant to the film maybe a little more planning would help.
I'm sorry if I sound too harsh its just I am an fx artist and get this kind of nonsense all the time.

Find a real one. I just saw one on Sunday. Brown and white. I suggest wrapping it in plastic first and wearing gloves.
