I (accidentally) punched my dog

[QuestionableMouse]

Taking Ddogout for a walk earlier. Had his ball in my hand and as I went to throw it he jumped to catch it. Resulted in my hand meeting his rock hard head head with a very nasty crack.

It swelled up straight away so I went to minor injuries and I've broken my ruddy finger! Dog is 100% fine... His head is apparently much harder than my hand.

How's that for a stupid injury?!

Poor doggy

Hope your hand isn't too painful! w

Oh no OP! My dog ran around a tree today very giddy and her lead somehow managed to wrap around my husband's leg and friction burn through his sock! Ouch.

It's my right hand which is super annoying because I'm right handed. Not too painful thankful.

Friction burns are the worst! I once got rope burns on both hands and I honestly think it would have been less painful to chop them both off!

Here is the guilty party.

Id say your dog headbutted your hand

He looks fabulously guilty.

First time I got friction burns (on both hands), my 'very nice' army trainer made me put them in a ice cold puddle - worst pain ever!

Aww look at the wee face. Ddog clearly doesn't give a fuck 😂

When I first read your title I was ready to pounce a tell you what a horrible person you are, but I actually laughed 😃

My dog broke my dd's leg, so I think you got off lightly with a finger 😂

I thought this was going to be a very different thread and was all fired up. I don’t even own a dog

oh goodness - I would like it if our ddog broke my finger so I could have a legit 6 weeks off work and sort my house out

BTW that is one cute dog

I doubt he’s 100% fine. Having just been punched in the head.

DS fell over a dog and broke his finger earlier this year- it was a teeny-tiny dog too! That was a fun trip to A&E (as they asked DS for the 4th time to tell them about how he injured himself).

I'll rent him and a tennis ball for a tenner a go 😂😂😂

I didn't actually punch him in the head FFS. He jumped into my fingers. His head isn't even tender (believe me, he's a huge wuss and if anything hurt he'd let me know)

I feel for you, OP. I once accidentally punched my cat in the jaw. He looked stunned and shook his head (as though to clear his thoughts) but he forgave me.

I once accidentally hit myself in the bridge of the nose with the side of a hairbrush and saw stars, so i imagine it was a bit like that for the cat.

I have often clashed with my dogs head or jaw when he goes for the ball a bit too early. My hand always bloody hurts but he just looks annoyed that I didn't throw the ball properly

Our retriever used to lift his head up fast and clunk the underside of my jaw with the top of his head, it was like being hit with a cricket bat.

My dog gave me a black eye once. He jumped up and caught me in the face with the top of his head.

I have a feeling no one believed me when I told people just how I got it.

Why the horrible title?
Cute dog!

You really need to change the title. It is cruel and slightly sickening. Ask MN HQ to change it.

Lovely dog. Hope your finger heals quickly OP.

Our little whippet scuffed my chin jumping up on the sofa as I was bending down to stroke her. I saw stars, so painful. Little varmint. I miss her.

with that particular leather collar for Greyhounds/Whippets, surprising sharp.
