My retarded dog scratched my car
I come home and I find my GS's bumper and quarter panel chewed up, the culprit, my 4 month old Doberman. His *** is beat now and now I have to find out how to fix this.
How can I fix this guys? Please point me in the right direction.
TIA
BTW, the little devil that did this.

That's a tough one. If the scratches are very deep, to the point where you can catch them with your finger nail, it's too dangerous to wetsand and buff, as you would be risking "striking trough" the clearcoat and causing more damage.
If you can't feel them with your finger nail, or just slightly, I would give it a try...but it's always a risk not knowing the paint thickness.
A safe bet would be to stop by your local bodyshop and ask for a small sample of clearcoat and hardener...kind of like touchup paint. Come home, clean the scratched areas with prepsol or at least IPA, mix the clearcoat with hardener and "fill" in the scratches with the small brush..that alone should make it a lot less noticeable or make them go away altogether.

Neuter him! mwahahahh 
I would just use some Ultimate Compound and try to buff it out. It won't be perfect, but at least neutering him will make you feel a little better. Spray some bitter apple around the car maybe?

Haha yeah I wish I could.
Damn I'm pissed at him but I still love him to death lol I would never do that to him.
A few firm hits isn't going to kill him but let's not get into that.
Thanks a million man. I'll just take the car to my local reputable body shop because my paint is damn near mint condition and I wouldn't be able to live with myselfif I mess it up so I'll leave it to the people who know what they're doing.

Justin, one of these is needed. 
Problem with disciplining a dog hours after he did something wrong is that he won't understand the connection. Dogs take to crate training well and it will actually shorten the housebreaking time needed. Crates also keep your house and possessions safe while you are away. Good for both you and the dog, LOL. I've had dogs eat right through drywall, eat a table leg, eat the corners of my kitchen cabinets and and chew up carpeting. Now I use crates and the dogs actually like them.
As to fixing the damage, compound/polish will remove some of the defects but some look too deep to remove. I think your choice to leave it to a professional shop is a good one.

. He bit up my BMW's rain guards and now my Lexus so he is going to come back inside the house so I can thoroughly train him in the crate.

Another tip. Butcher bones or sometimes called soup bones keep dogs occupied for hours. I keep a couple in the freezer and when I need to distract my dog for a couple hours, I toss him one of these frozen bones. My dog will gnaw on one of these for three to four hours straight.

Haha been there done that as well. I bought him three squeaky toys which he destroyed in a day. After that I bought him a big bacon flavored bone which he's still working on now but it never seems to keep him occupied for long. I take him to the track with me to run to tire him out and he goes to sleep when we get home. It seems like he does it in the morning. I'll have to playback my surveillance cameras to see specifically though.
