A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

You've been hit by,

a woof criminal. Awoo!

Wonder what the guy did to deserve this particular fuck-you from the dog.

It’s obviously the guys fault. Obviously.

(/s if it wasn’t obvious. Guessing doggo had target fixation on the car.)

I broke my knee this way. the surgeon said that 8 out of 10 fractures like mine, were caused either by cars hitting the knee at bumber height or by dogs. It was certainly not the first time he'd seen it.

It took a couple of screws, and some banging with a hammer to get bone splinters out and some bone graft to rebuilt the crushed part of the bone.

This is 10 years ago, but I don't expect the knee to be 100% ever again
