Mentally she doesn't seem as bad as last time either which is brill.

That's the biggest worry, being caring human beings we automatically feel the need to comfort when bad things happen when in a dog's mind they hake it off and crack on. I am glad she is recovering well and hope things get sorted with the other owner.

I have never heard a dog cry in pain like it before it made me feel physically sick and really scared me, she had a mouth full of blood and she cried and clung to my side for at least a minute, i was sure it had smashed her jaw.

Unbelievably she was back to her boisterous self within 5 minutes, albeit with a lump the size of a golf ball on her jaw, to this day if the door moves slightly as she is getting in or out she stops. She has never forgotten it and nor have I!

Whilst reading this i almost cried! How awful that must have been!
Lucy sounds an incredibly tough cookie to carry on after that, trapping a finger in a vehicle door is bad enough never mind a head!!

However, the other day I hit him full on in the face with the ball chucker when he got in front of me and I was going for the olympic gold in ball chucking.
He looked up at me squinting as if to ask why I had just done that, then legged it off after the ball anyway.
He didn't make a sound or a fuss but I was distraught!

I am sorry but i did laugh at this reply, mainly because i kick footballs into their faces/bodies too (un-intentionally of course) and can see the face you are describing with ease
There is a moment of hand over mouth with a shocked ''omg i am sooo sorry doggies'' but they just don't care!
There awesome tbh
