Dogsafe helped us this week.
 
Dave took Muriel and Murphy Brown hiking up Grouse Mountain. They were off leash up there and he felt safe in the environment. Then – he heard a crack of glass.  He knew in his gut it was Muriel and he knew something happened.
 
Sure enough, a broken beer bottle was in the middle of the trail and Muriel’s back pad on her right hind foot was sliced open.
 
He immediately bandaged it up and returned home. At home, Dave was then able to clean the wound thoroughly and bandage her paw with supplies from our DOGSAFE canine first aid kit we bought from you. Muriel was a little upset so we used the "canine calming signals" we discussed in class. 

We are monitoring the wound closely and keeping it clean and freshly dressed.
 
Thank you Michelle!
 
PS. Everyone I talk to with dogs I recommend that they take the DOGSAFE courses.
