I just got a bunch of dog bites on my hands and arms because a dog got tangled in a rope and I was the only one there. Eventually I had to cut him out and he’s on his way to the vet. Molly thought she needed to save me.
Were it not for her “down stay” training, I’d likely need surgery and both dogs would be on their way to the vet.
I’m fine, isn’t my first and won’t be my last dog bite and all our dogs have all their shots. He was a young, scared dog in pain.

… he got caught in it … not sure I could duplicate it if I tried, tbh.
At least it wasn’t me who had to take this one to the vet this time. Small victories, man.
