Rule 11 tells us what to do if the ball accidentally strikes a person, animal or object and it depends on where the ball was played from. If it was played from anywhere except the putting green, the ball is to be played as it lies (if it came to rest on any of these, it must be dropped at the point where it first came to rest in or on them). If it was played from the putting green, and it is known or virtually certain that the ball was stopped or deflected, the stroke is cancelled and must be replayed. Imo, it has nothing to do with "knowingly" as is suggested in the posts (maybe an oversimplification of known or virtually certain by our wonderful media?)
