Christmas cheer

Just to pre warn you there are some graphic pictures.
I joined a few months ago now but not long after I joined my poor dog got run over, I didn't realy know anybody on the site well so I kept it to myself.
Anyway.....late October-half term(children off from school) I came home from work to find my kids wasting their lives sat on their butts watching crap on TV so I made them take the dog for a walk. 10 mins later I get a distressed phone call off my daughter saying "the dog has been run over", I quickly got in the car to find the kids, didn't take long but when I got there I could see the dog was in a bad way( his name is Bryn by the way).
I managed to fumble him into the back of my car and could tell that he had snapped his lower jaw clean in half, not only that but his left side had taken most of the damage. A 4x4 was driving through the lane and Bryn has always stayed at the side of the road until the vehicle goes past, which he did but didn't see the trailer attached behind it with a digger on the back.....
Not much cheer so far is there!
The vet took him in and x-rayed him and rang me the next day with bad news. He had said that the fracture was beyond his capabilities and that he couldn't save Bryn as there was no way he could garentee his quality of life. I was in the man cave at the time on my own so managed to compose myself after 20 mins and made my way back to the house to tell the wife the bad news.
We sat down together and I started telling her what the vet had said. Mid flow I get a call from the vet stating that he found a specialist who might be able to save him........the plot thickens.
