There was one of those two headed cows walking around sancutary. When I shot it, my entire settlement went hostile and tried to kill me. Sadly, I dont have any saves before this. Anyone know how to get them friendly again or am I just screwed and cant go back to sanctuary?

This depends on what you mean by "stop following you". You can communicate with him (press the talk button) and tell him to stay. You can also tell him to go to a dog house if one exists (or build one for him if one doesn't although there is one in Sanctuary). This will get him to stop following you until you next fast travel.
If you want him to actually leave you alone so you can continue on your journey without a companion, you need to speak to him and select the "Dismiss" option, which will pop up a menu asking where you want to send the companion to.
Alternatively you can take another companion with you.
Unfortunately, the only thing you can do to get Dog(meat) from opening doors and get in your way, is to tell him to "stay". Don't forget to have him "follow" you later on.
Injuring him is not a very efficient solution, as it takes a long time to critically wound him, and he'll quickly recover to leave even more mayhem in his wake. It's much faster and more reliable to have him stay instead.
One thing I've noticed, is that you can close the door right in your dog's face. He won't attempt to open the door again unless you move away from it. I don't know if that's a reliable method, though, as I've only done it once so far.

I had something similar happen in Tenpines Bluff - there was a raider attack, and one of the settlers ran into the path of my VATS shot and turned hostile. Unfortunately, Codsworth was with me and so even putting away my gun didn't stop him from continuing to attack the settler, so I couldn't get them to un-hostile-ify. I tried running far away from the settlement and ordering Codsworth to wait, then returning, but by then the settler was too angry to calm down.
To solve the problem, I ran away again, dismissed Codsworth (instructing him to reside in Sanctuary), then fast-traveled to Sanctuary myself. I slept for 24 hours and fast-traveled back to Tenpines Bluff, and the settler was no longer hostile.
If Sanctuary is your only settlement so far, then just head back over to Vault 111 and sleep in the Overseer's bed, and the settlers in Sanctuary should calm down. Or find a bed in Concord, that should work too.
