you can be taken to civil court. they can sue you for a variety of things. their is no specific law but if they can prove negligence you might have to pay. most probably nothing will happen. i am assuming that the dog was loose in the street. if that is the case the owner is responsible for it's pet.

depends on the jursidiction
Aside from hitting the dog - sounds like you took responsibility for your actions. That typically goes a long way with judges in cases like these.

If the dog was not on a leash you have nothing to worry about.
