We have a couple of dogs and they have given our hard wood floors and beating. There are some deep scratches. How can you repair them? Is there filler or some thing we can use beside replacing the wood or covering it with a rug

The only way for such a task is sanding the floor, re-staining and re-varathaning... no easy way. I empathize with the dog issue, I have one as well and we are diligent with the nail trimming but I can still hear the nails hitting the floor... only a matter of time for my turn at the same game... :)
Good Luck!

The only surefire fix is sanding and refinishing.
You might be able to get away with a serious buffing. Hire someone or rent a buffer. Warning: they are hard to control, so if you're not sure what you're doing... hire.
There are fillers. Check the Home Depot for one that most closely matches your floor color. It won't be perfect, so you need to decide if you'd rather have these slightly-off streaks or just live with the scratches.
