Tough break for the dog, but he still caught the suspect, didn’t he?......Nice try dog.....LOL!
I can believe it. The first time my pit really got it good...quills under the tongue, in his gums....the first thing he did at the vet’s office was stick his head in a mop bucket that reeked on disinfected, and take a drink. I’m amazed he never lost an eye. One night, (another attack...he just hated porkies...never quit hunting them)) I was playing with a night vision attachment on the camera, and Nemo grabbed a porky next to the logging road. He started doing the head-shake, mopping the ground with it. I grabbed for his neck, and found his choke chain was off. He was still swinging the porky back and forth, and then I thought he let go. I held him and made for the car. In the morning. i went back out there, and found his collar...it had slipped over his head while he was swinging the critter. What I thought was him letting go turned out to be when the mouthful of porky hide he was holding onto came off the porky. I was glad he hadn’t swung it into me. 1AM. Had to call the emergency vet. First time I’d dealt with him, but Nemo was a frequent flyer by then. He knocked him out, pulled the quills, and said I probably knew the drill, so they didn’t have to keep him for observation. Take him home, put him somewhere cool and dark where he can’t fall off, and wait for him to shake off the anesthesia.
