Little Buddha took his second trip to the dog park with Simba. He was excited but we stayed on the small dog side because there was an aggressive dog on the big dog side. After that dog left we proceeded to go to the big dog side where there were two dogs playing. One was a golden and the other a mutt. I knew the golden and had always thought it was a even tempered dog. Buddha kept trying to play with him. He wanted the ball that he had and before I knew it the golden went after my pup and all I heard was the most haunting scream. Buddha would not stop screaming. I grabbed him and searched for the injury. Truly, I almost threw up because I couldn't stand the sight of his eyes rolling into the back of his head and his inability to focus because he was wailing. Simba kept jumping up to see his little brother. He was extremely worried. The golden backed away and I immediately retreated to my car. I saw blood pouring from his mouth and I saw a gaping hole in the top of his gums. I could contain it no longer and began to cry. I cried, consoled him and drove to the vet. It turned out that the bite was deep and he would need surgery. My guilt was overwhelming and I could not stop crying. So after several hours my little baby came walking out of the room, high on drugs. He was doing fine but his mom was a total wreck. Needless to say it took several weeks and a lot of pain medication before Buddha healed completely. I never saw the woman with the golden ever again. Maybe she was afraid I would sue her. I probably would.
And you swallow
