This is a suggestion to all dog owners.

Before letting your dogs on the loose running around do check the ground area carefully for hidden holes in the ground!!!!!!!

Secondly if you find these holes like in your own area, fill it up with dirt to prevent this kind of injury taking place. At least your doing your part to reduce the odds of it happening.

Try to control your dogs from running around so much. Yes exercise is important but at the same time the older the animal gets be it young or old, one little twist the wrong way and that knee is history.

Best to walk them on a leash.. If you can, try your best to keep them from running around. You can get on a bicycle and have your dog on a leash, and you can go at a jog pace stopping every now and then for the animal to catch their breath. Do carry water and a water bowl with you. They will get thirsty too.

When your animal is controlled for the surrounding environment, the odds of this kind of injury does decrease.

So owners do your part for your pet as well.
