There are so many ways a dog can get hurt. I wonder how many people leave dressed and collared dogs home alone and they can get caught up in and in so much trouble in them. One little girl tried to get out of her dress and panicked, tore herself up trying to get loose, banging into and hanging up on things, took months to get over her anxiety state. They can hang on their cage, break their leg trying to climb it, eat electric cords, eat and swallow furniture, baseboard wood, can dislocate a shoulder jumping off the couch or bed. I know of a dog who ripped his brand new blanket and wound it around his leg for hours cutting off all circulation for hours, lost the leg. Collars hang up in mouths, they climb the gates and fall off, breaking things, etc.

There are dangers when leaving a dog home alone while we work or shop or run errands. No place is all that safe really.
