I bought H & H the little harnesses you get so they could get out to run around our garden (It's a communal garden and only has wire fences in2 others so it's not safe without them). The leads were awful short tho so I bought extending dogs leads from Christies as I thought this would give them a bit more freedom, but they'd still be safe.
Been on then half a dozen times and had no problem. Today though something spooked Harly and he bolted. The lead broke in half and the string came out, so he was running around with it dragging and this was obviously panicking him worse. Couldn't catch him. When I got a hold of him realised it was between his toes and wrapped round his hind leg about 3 times, he was pullin away from me and screaming, I swear it was screaming, and the look in his eyes- he was so scared. i think he thought an animal had got him or something, and it must of hurt. I feel so so so awful i thought it'd b nice for them, Im so stupid.
Gave him hugs for ages, felt his legs all over and gently checked they weren't broken, no obvious wounds and doesn't seem to be anything broken, he's putting weight on it and hopping about in run, but is limping slightly every so often and is very subdued.
I just feel terrible. I can't believe I let this happen
