Narrative:

On the evening of jun/sun/93 at XA00 pm we departed ft lauderdale, fl, for nassau, bahamas in an light transport. Only the flight crew was on board the aircraft. We were scheduled to meet our passenger at XB00 pm in nassau and depart for kingston, jamaica. The flight was routine, and the WX was good. The first officer was flying this leg. We touched down at XA30 pm, the landing was normal. As the aircraft slowed, a pack of 10-12 wild dogs appeared and ran from left to right across the runway. The aircraft impacted one of the dogs at approximately 80-90 KTS with the nose gear. We slowed and stopped the aircraft to examine the damage. Upon examining the nose gear, we noticed damage to the gear actuator. We spoke to airport and ATC officials in nassau who explained that they have had a problem with wild dogs for some time but the government would not do anything to correct the problem. The officials in nassau wanted me there the next morning to fill out a report and speak with the supervisor. As PIC of the aircraft, I felt obligated to oversee the repair efforts and the return of the aircraft to the home base the next day. After repairs were completed on monday, I flew the aircraft back to ft. Lauderdale. After the aircraft was home safely and I began to calculate duty time records, I realized that, depending on how you classify the return flight, it could be said I was over duty time or did not have the required duty rest between flts. I believe the return flight home on monday could be classified as part 91, thus making it legal but I am not sure.
