to be worried that my LL is physically hurting my dog

I have posted about my LL before. Unfortunately I am still living with her. Last night she was sitting and the sofa, when my dog sat next to her on the floor, leaning slightly on to her legs affectionately. She purposely moved her legs suddenly so he fell to the floor, and said 'I hate it when they lean'. He stayed nearby, and a minute or so later she said 'right, go away now' and suddenly pushed him, really hard away from her, so much so that he crashed head first into the corner of a piece of furniture. She didn't seem upset or embarrassed that I had witnessed this. I don't know if I am over reacting.. I don't believe she meant to push him into the furniture, but I can't see that the action wasn't meant to be cruel and aggressive. She has always seemed a bit 'off' with him, silly things like she pats him really hard, like she enjoys hurting him while being able to pretend she is being nice to him. He's genuinely a good, very quiet and sensible dog, and is in my room 99% of the time when I'm not walking him. She had her dog put down recently and I know has a lot of unspecified emotional issues. Anyway I'm just worried I'm over reacting, and if it's nothing I don't want to cause issues over it. My dog is my priority and if my instincts are correct, then of course I will make sure he is out of harms way

Please speak to her if she pushes him again. I'd go fucking ballistic if anyone hurt my dog, I mean seriously raging if it happened in front of me. Please don't feel that you can't tell her off if she does it again.

I think it's very rude to go searching for someone elses's previous threads or posts, and particularly rude to then post a link. Even ruder to then start questioning them as if you think they are a troll.

Troll hunting is against MN guidelines, and just makes the person doing it look stupid and petty.

Your story breaks my heart a little bit OP.

I hope this other LL comes through for you. If not and you are happy to post roughly where you are maybe someone on here could help either by having your doggy for a bit or even with lodgings. I'd totally have him to stay if you're anywhere near me, we've a big garden and two dogs for him to play with :)

Hello again. Thank you again for all the supporting and kind comments and advice. I am still actively looking for somewhere else to live. I am in Brighton btw. It probably is ok saying that because I think the LL will recognize herself if she comes across this thread
I messaged her trying to be very polite saying that she mustn't treat him that way, and that I was sorry to bring it up but that any physical discipline must only be done by me (I don't ever because he is so sensitive and just a firm no is always enough) She didn't reply for two days, but this afternoon just left me a 3 and a half minute voice message. My phone won't play them which is lucky cause I am really scared and really really don't want any arguments.
