A golden retriever is in the dog-house after breaking her owner’s leg and forcing her to pull out of the holiday of a lifetime.
Jill Struggles had to have her leg rebuilt after over-excited pup Peggy pulled her over while chasing another dog on a lunchtime stroll
Peggy yanked the lead out of Jill’s hand, twisting her round on her foot and snapping every bone in her lower leg.
Bakery worker Jill, 53, has been told it will be 12 months before she can walk properly again.

And she and her husband David have been forced to cancel a holiday to Barbados while her leg heals.
She said: “Peggy is such a well trained dog, but being just under two years old she is quite playful.
“As soon as she saw the other dog she tried to run over and I managed to pull her back.
“But as I turned to walk the opposite way she pulled me again and my body turned but my feet stayed.
“I didn’t fall down straight away, but when I saw my foot I fell to the ground and screamed for someone to help me.
“When I got to hospital they told me they didn’t realise the severity of the break and that it was actually limb-threatening and I went straight into surgery to put my foot straight.
“When I woke up I was told I was reacting to the pain during the surgery and had stopped breathing twice, so I was then transferred to a different hospital for second surgery where they put plates in my ankles.”
Despite a short period in the dog- house, sorry Peggy now spends every day snuggled up to her injured owner licking her wounds.
Jill, of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, added: “Peggy clearly feels very guilty, everyone who comes to visit me says she’s got big guilty eyes all the time.
“She’s glued to my side and now she seems to want to guard over my leg.
“Of course I’ve forgiven her – but my husband can do the dog walking from now on.”
