has your father ever had his injured? Anything goes wrong with that it hurts like crazy. Ivr torn mine in half twice, neither time I could walk the pain hurt so bad. So why would it NOT hurt a dog. Its still a major tendon, it would hurt!

Achilles Greek Warrior- the only Vounerable spot was his Achilles Tendon, where he was held to dip him in the river. Now I know its only Mythology and stuff, but its sort of true- the Achilies tendon is one of the most vounerable spots on a body.

Now I know most of what I said pertains to humans, but I dont see why it wouldnt apply to dogs too. Its the same type of tendon. And dogs feel pain like we do.

If im wrong on this though any one can feel free to Correct me, Im just assuming here by my own experiances.
