All des years of pickin up a stick n throwin it fur a doggy pal and we never knew just how dangerous dat could be. Wooded sticks and twigs have sharp jaggedy edges dat can stab a doggy in da mouth n gums and makes dem bleed. Little bits of sticks can break off and choke a doggy. Or dey could swollow dem and cut up der throats and guts! Heck da stick could even get stuck in da ground a poke out da doggies eye. (now I r skeered of sticks too! ma humanz sumtimes throws lil sticks when I am in da yard wif dem cause I run affer dem, but I dunt fetch or chew on dat sticks likes doggies do.)
When humanz pick up dem sticks to throw fur a fun game of fetch dey dunt allows stop to fink about da safety of da game dey r playin. but it did not takes me too long to finds some furrends dat actually had bad stick injuries so I fink it iz time to stop and finks afore u throw dat next stick.
