The force of the impact broke his pelvis in three places and caused him to face plant into the road, tearing up his muzzle and breaking a toe.A neighbor noticed Connor, blood staining his white fur, whimpering on the side of the road, and hurried to tell Connor's humans. Dislocation of the sacro-iliac joint requires placement of a screw(s) through the ilium sacrum. I know everyone thinks their pet is the best, but Connor might be the real deal.

The surgery seemed prohibitively expensive and input from acquaintances varied from “get him the surgery” to “he's just a dog, put him down.”For the first week or so, I used the 'wait and see' approach.
