Default Roof of car caves in.

Hey, I didnt know where to make this thread but im assuming it would go here.

Well, while I had my car in the garage for a few months my dog would jump up on the roof and sleep on the cold metal. So now, the roof caves in.

I can push out the dent from inside the car but with some force, it will sink in again. I was wondering if anyone else had a problem similar to this and if there was a way to fix it. Thanks.

EDIT: I guess a more suitable question is if I can reinforce the roof so it wont do this anymore. lol

You could always attempt to put a shim or two above the head liner?
