Well I've sort of forgiven him as it was an accident. Out on the flood plain yesterday and he met up with his BFFs who he hadn't seen for best part of a week.

Running round like nutters they were.

Misjudgement of trajectory, full pelt into my knee, ambulance, x rays, now laid up with a long leg cast. Bugger, lots of plans changed, hurts like hell.

A woman from my BootCamp class dislocated her knee when her dog ran into her, a customer of mine broke her femur when her dog did the same thing; both are retrievers; the dogs!!

Yep this is a Golden Retriever, not quite sure whether it was him or the boxer cross which got me, possibly both. Apparently very common injury according to A&E.

A client at one practice got pulled over by her lab whilst walking him, resulted in badly broken femur that took forever to heal!!

OP that sounds painful!! I hope it heals quickly.

Dog was barking at the back door the other day. I thought he wanted a wee, but actually he'd seen a cat. He chased it up the fence and started running round the garden like a maniac, I got him up onto the patio, and then made a slight error of physics. He charged back towards the garden, and I stuck my leg out to stop him. Six stone of high velocity dog, wet patio, standing on one leg. Only one way that was going.

Knocked me literally right off my feet, landed and rolled - the sort of fall where you pause for a second before you try to get up to see what's going to hurt. Completely lost my rag and roared at him. I've never seen him cower before, ears down, tail between his legs. Stood still while I grabbed his collar and walked him back indoors. He spent the rest of the evening sucking up to me. I'd have felt guilty if he hadn't been being such an ahole.

A few years ago my mate's lab pulled him over as they were going out of the front gate, mate had a broken upper arm and cuts to the head from his glasses breaking. His glasses broke when he went head-first into and denting the front wing of my nine day old car.

I trip over my lot almost daily, usually resulting in dropped food/drink, I'm sure they plan it. My biggest worry is landing on one of them, I'm sure I'll be fine.

My dad was playing 'tug' with their previous EBT/Staff cross when the dog decided to try to get a better grip, she got his finger with her pre-canine instead.

Her punishment was having her walk curtailed so my dad could get six stitches in his finger.

The wife if a German friend if mine had her leg broken by their dog 🐶 about 6 years ago.
She was getting it out of the back of their estate. She held the lead as it stood at her feet while she was reaching in the car for jacket.
Along came another dog which set hers off, unfortunately tightening the lead which was rotated around her leg.
End result was a very bad twist fracture which took nearly two years to heal. :-0

I think she a brittle bone issue because no sooner had her leg healed when she fell over the dog and broke both arms!!!
