i did this to my own dog! he was going through a door with me and his tail got caught! he screamed bloody murder when it happened, and later 3 inches from the tip he had a permanent bump. I felt like some kind of evil monster, but it was an accident. i hope they don't have to amputate!

I did this to my dog, too. I was four and she kept dragging me around by the seat of the pants. So I bent the tip of her tail and she had a bent tail for her remaining 11 years. This break is about an inch from the butt, and the concern is it may pull on the spinal cord and cause nerve damage.

Poor puppy!

Our Rottie of course had a docked tail (she came that way from the shelter). I loved watching her wag her stump. I always wondered what kind of damage her tail would have done since her stump wiggled so much.

Can you pin a tail on a dog?

Sick humor I know.

Dear Shiloh, Thanks for being such a cool and awesome buddy, and such a great watchdog. I'll be extra careful of your tail!

I'm so sorry about the doggie's tail! How do you slam a kennel door on a tail so close to the behind??? And not admit it??? Poor doggie. He WILL miss it. I'm feeling heartbroken for him.

My parents Rottie, Athena, chases her nub around. It is quite hysterical albeit a little sad because you can tell she thinks she should have more tail. When they had a mixed breed Rott/Lab/Chow companion with a large plume of tail Athena was in awe of it. She would chase the tail and grab it like she was going to steal his tail. My Schnauzers wiggle their stumps with such enthusiam I am glad they don't have a full tail, plus natural Schnauzer tails are like little whips!

MP-Hope your little guy doesn't need an amputation!
