Herbie the 10-year-old Pointer-Vizla cross is less than two weeks into his recovery, but he’s already back on his feet and proving how brave he is.

In a video posted by his owner @Yogaglowgoddess—real name Rachel Brown—Herbie can be seen walking along the side of a country road while wearing his lead.

Whenever a car drove past, Herbie stopped in his tracks, but after his mom gave him gentle encouragement, he started walking again.

“First walk where we’ve seen cars since the accident,” wrote Rachel alongside the footage. “He was terrified. We saw three cars and he was the same each time.”

Although there are no official statistics, vehicle collisions are a common cause of emergency vet trips in the U.S. Unfortunately, the cost of treatment can quickly mount depending on the severity of the animal’s injuries.

For a dog, the price of treatment for a broken bone can range from $800 to $5,000, while emergency surgery can cost up to $8,000. Those figures don’t include the initial consultation, which on average costs between $100 and $200, plus extra fees of up to $1,500 if the dog needs to stay overnight.

A 2018 study retroactively analyzed the files of 140 dogs involved in vehicle collisions. Fortunately, 83.2 percent of animals survived the accident, but their age and the severity of their injuries was a key factor.

It’s a difficult decision for any pet owner to make, but VetHelpDirect says that dogs usually cope fine with losing a limb. To help your dog recover, they recommend rest for 10 to 14 days, monitoring the wound for any bleeding or swelling, and providing comfortable, padded bedding.

It is also important to remember it will take time for them to regain their balance, so making it as easy as possible for them to access food, water, toys and their bed will help your canine companion to adapt.

TikTok users were impressed by Herbie’s bravery, with the video receiving almost 23,000 likes and over 100 shares.

“Brave boy,” said DanellaAzzo.

“Such resilience,” wrote Nala&Don.

“Made me cry,” commented user061837.

While Shelly Buys called Herbie the “Goodest of boys.”

In the comments, Rachel explained that the road was a quiet lane just a few minutes away from home, so there wouldn’t be too many cars going past to scare Herbie.

“He’s done amazing so far,” she wrote. “He’s 10 and pretty arthritic!

“You can see he knows he’s a good boy.”
