 Sam,
the crossbreed, belongs to Kay Westgate of Harlow in Essex. Read
Kay's account of the injury that Sam sustained when she threw a stick
for him.
"Sam. my little crossbreed is ball mad and some time ago when out walking I threw a stick for him to fetch as I'd forgotten to take his ball with me. He went flying out after the stick and came running back to me with the stick protruding from either side of his mouth. It was quite a long stick and as he ran, it fell from his mouth so that one end went into the the ground but the other end was pointing upwards. Sam ran over the stick and the result was that the pointed end went straight into his groin area alongside his right back leg, causing a very nasty deep hole. |

could see that he needed immediate attention from the vet. I
telephoned and took him to the surgery straight away. He was taken
straight into the operating theatre and needed emergency surgery to
repair the damage that the stick had caused.
It required proper cleansing, stitches and a course of antibiotics. Fortunately, Sam did make a full recovery. He was very lucky that the stick didn't damage any muscles, tendons or internal organs." Kay teaches clicker training classes and she now warns everyone of the dangers of sticks. Sam is now a TV and film star and has appeared in Grange Hill, The Bill, Frankenstein, 101 Dalmatians, and Tom's Midnight Garden to name but a few. His most famous role was as Crabb in Shakespeare in Love.
