I'm wondering what I should do....
Today I dropped off my dog at doggy day camp at petsmart.. The day camp is held in the same area as the pets hotel. When I walked into that area of the store, no one was at the front desk.. My dog and I were just waiting to be helped.. Meanwhile in the next room there were 2 dogs, the owners of both dogs, and a trainer.. They were practicing sit and stays.. One dog was a rotty, the other dog was as big as the rotty, but was white.. probably just a mut..
Anyways, they direct the dogs to sit, then proceed to walk away.. they walk out of the training room and then out of the pets hotel area and into the main part of the store..
Then all of a sudden BAM! Both dogs run out of the training room and jump my manchester terrier.. he's only 20 lbs.. I don't think the dogs were attacking him... but they were pretty rough... Then a few seconds later the trainer, the owners, and a petsmart worker rush in to break it up.. I was trying to, but couldn't separate the 3 dogs...
when all was said and done, my dog had an abrasion above his right eye.. it wasn't like a bleeding wound. it was more like a scrape.. it is the size of a nickel... all his fur was missing... you ever scrape an elbow or a knee? that's what it looked like....
The staff was apologetic... so where the owners.. despite all of this, I proceeded to check him into day camp... I usually never have a problem.. but man oh man it was a long walk home.. I'm wondering if my little baby is going to be all right...
I wonder where I go from here.. Do I just forget it and just accept the fact that my dog will probably have a bald spot on his face from now on? Does anyone know if fur grows back when an area gets skinned like that???
All I know is if my dog did this to a person, he'd be dead, and I'd be taken to the cleaners for a face wound/scar... This sucks..
I pay big bucks for my dog to attend day camp.. I shouldn't have to worry about something like this happening. Also, I don't want the other dogs to be punished.. Again, I didn't sense they were trying to kill my dog.. But they were all fired up, thats for sure... I just think they were put in a crappy situation....
What would you do if this happened to you?
