Nobody was injured.

The unattended animal on the runway during the landing, which caused the pilot to pull up and land a second time, resulting in an overrun. A factor contributing to the accident was the inability to abort the landing due to obstacles at the end of the runway.

Read the full NTSB narrative

In an effort to avoid a dog who had run in front of the airplane after landing the pilot pulled up, then added power to avoid a stall. After landing a second time and during the roll out, the pilot realized that there was not enough room to stop, and obstacles at the end of the runway precluded a go around. The airplane subsequently ran off the end of the runway and came to rest in a ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft.
