I swear it seems like the dogs are taking turns having soap operas. As I was pulling in the parking space at home on Thursday I saw Craig standing at the door looking freaked out and covered in scrapes and blood. He had just gotten home from taking Misha to the vet.
Earlier in the day he was getting ready to go to the store and Misha was running around the front lawn while he opened the truck. Across the park our neighbors were walking their dog, that dog saw Misha, broke his lead and came hell bent for leather to attack Misha. Craig threw himself into the fight, eventually getting little Misha freed from the larger dog's jaws. Thanks heavens Craig didn't get bit. He was able to scoop her up and get her to the local vet who patched her up.
She came home with us the same night, so we were able to make her as comfortable as possible. She is doing really well now, walking around a little and putting some weight on her back leg. It looks like she was lucky and nothing vital was injured. If Craig hadn't rescued her, I think the other dog might have killed her. Craig is our hero!!
