Dog Recovers After Best Mate Horse Steps On Her Head
Updated : Jul 2, 2009
A chihuahua has made an amazing recovery in Australia after being stepped on by her best mate - a 900kg Clydesdale horse.
Little Berry was happily playing with her friend Leroy when the giant horse accidentally trod on her head.
Owner Abbey Newton, of Geelong, near Melbourne, said: "Leroy stepped back, right on her head. There was just this little tiny bit of her nose sticking out. I thought she was dead.
"There was this horrible high-pitched screaming noise. It was terrible".
Berry was rushed to the vet who offered to put the little dog down but Abbey decided to take her home to die.
Anxiously she checked on Berry every hour throughout the night and, to her astonishment, in the morning she seemed to have made a complete recovery.
"In the morning she just got up and ate the other dog's breakfast," added Mrs Newton. "She's had nine lives and it's cost me every time."
