So im at the potty spot outside by my building, and Baxter is pulling on his leash, while mildly wrestling with a little pug. Both of them are kind of just going some gentle bulldozing, wrestling / leaning like bulldog breeds do. Kinda slowly tackling eachother, etc. I and the other owner are both pulling tight on the leashes because each dog wants to lung at the other (in play). We both pull each dog back every so often, then let them waddle up to eachother and do a little wrestle.
At one point, Baxter isn't even doing anything, just kind of sitting there, a foot or so away from the pug. Suddenly he lets out this extremely loud SHRIEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... but not one... it was like two or three - sounded like *severe* pain. The other owners looked horrified and startled, and I quickly went up to Baxter to see what was going on. He was looking at his left paw as he screamed extremely loud. So I grabbed his paw ... looking for something biting him, or an existing wound or ... anything. There was nothing. And just like that he stopped. Wasn't limping. Nothing. Went about his business and all was normal.
The other owners mentioned they saw something like that with another dog who had just broken his claw, but baxters were fine. They weren't even being aggressive in play at all.
Is this something bulldogs do sometimes?
I theorized that he was just letting out a scream of utter bloody murder horror pain because he wanted off his leash to play with the pug, and his tension was just building up too much?? But even that seems wrong, because he wasn't acting all that upset about the leash. Nothing was out of the ordinary at all.
It really. ... really sounded like severe pain.
