  BUCKLE DANGER - PLEASE SHARE! In October, we rehomed Jack (was Doug) to Clive and Kristina in Somerset, and Kristina emailed yesterday about this horrific incident: "On Sunday, a friend came over with her labrador and we had a lovely 2hr. walk in the snow. The dogs were playing and getting on well, and when we returned we left them playing in the garden whilst we had some bread and cheese in the kitchen. "We then heard some yelping and rushed out to find out what was wrong. The labrador was wearing a loose leather collar with a buckle and Jack had got hold of it. It had twisted into a figure of eight and it was completely tight around his lower jaw, in the process, strangling the labrador. Both dogs were stressed and we could not release the buckle; we managed to cut the collar with garden loppers. "The labrador had stopped breathing and I gave him mouth to nose resuscitation. My friend was completely distraught; she lost her husband last year, and the dog is her life. I have never been so happy as when I saw the dog's chest rising and falling and the beginning of a tail wag. "We took both dogs to the vet for a thorough check and all was well. My friend's dog was given a pain-killer. The vet said that it was a 1,000,000: 1 accident, but recommended a quick-release collar ( Jack has always worn one of these)." We recommend them too (and state the reason why on the BRX Kitlist we give to new adopters). Unfortunately other dogs have died in similar incidents - usually because one dog has got a tooth caught in the buckle of the other dog's collar and panicked. A huge well done to Kristina (seen here with Jack) who earns herself a BRX Hero Award for keeping her cool and knowing what to do in this situation.
