Be sure to apologize, but yes, adrenaline makes us lose our mind at times. If she knows you and your relationship with your dog, she should understand just how jarring that visual would have been.

So glad to hear pup's ok, but might not be a bad idea to get them checked to be certain. Like you, pup also was running on some adrenaline in the immediate aftermath, too.
