A beloved pet dog almost lost a leg in a freak accident while playing in the garden.
Amber, a five-year-old Labrador, was playing in the garden at its West Kirby home, when Myles threw a ball down some steps for the dog to chase. Amber landed awkwardly on her leg and her owners could instantly tell something was wrong.
Owner Kate Smith, who works at Arrowe Park Hospital as a doctor, said: "Amber jumped after it and just started limping after landing and we could see the lower part of her leg had dropped and she couldn’t put weight on it."
