The banshee-like scream reached every doorstep of Pedersen Avenue in a similar fashion as the most ghastly ghoul on Halloween night.
Oliver, a nine-month-old Frenchie, was off in the distance before his owner, Mike, was able to make much of a reaction. Mike called an assortment of commands in hopes of changing the dog’s course, to no avail.
Tires screamed of a horrific scene Mike feared reaching.
Luckily, it wasn’t a tale of tragedy because all of Oliver’s broken bones and cuts would be, according to the vet, on the mend in no time.
The scars on Oliver’s shoulder and ribs were a reminder to Mike that he should have been sitting in this obedience class the week after he brought Oliver home.

Great interpretation of all the challenges – I couldn’t help thinking What If… Francis had been fastened on a lead (leash) ?

The injuries of a loved child can be as traumatic as what the owner feared. The dog may not stray too far away after this now.

Never underestimate the cunning and speed of a puppy!
Talk about panic in the streets (for you) Glad Oliver’s injuries were not more serious. But still – poor baby!

They can be off and away too quickly. Nail biting moment to be sure.
