Bag repair - need suggestions

[JPS 0]

Can someone here give me a few suggestions on how to fix my bag?

Here's the deal. I have this 'effing sweet Eagle bag, best equipment bag I have ever owned. Well, a few months back, my boxer got pissed off and chewed a big ass hole right in the top corner of the bag. Not just a little nibble - he took off the whole damn corner where the plastic piping holds the top and sides together.

I had to make a choice, dump the bag or the dog. They're both staying (for now..) So I want to know if anyone has ever tried to repair something like this. There is nothing left, except a gaping hole 4" x 4". I'm too damn cheap these days to go out and drop another $60 on a new one...especially with my 4 year old starting to play.

Any help on how to fix this, or what kind of shop might be able to repair it...would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe take some wax thread and a big needle and just sew it back together yourself?

Just cannibalize an old duffel bag or backpack for some material and get some heavy nylon thread.

Just go to a craft/fabric store and buy a small amount of polyester or whatever your bag is made out of. I use fishing line to sew equipment back together but nylon/wax thread will do the trick as stated above.
