Narrative:
Dog ran across taxiway from right to left. Hit brakes hard and applied full left rudder. Missed dog! Left wing scraped across metal post immediately to left of taxiway. Post serves no purpose and should be removed; so should dog because the next time this happens to hell with it, I'm gonna hit the dog on the theory dog is softer than 6 inch iron pipe filled with concrete, and set in concrete, plus cheaper to bury dog than fix airplane!
