not like all dogs off-leash chasing tail, but i never stop my 7 lb dog from greeting a big dog if he wants to. wondering if i should change this policy if just a simple accident like this can happen.
not sure what to take from it on that angle.

Well, to be honest I wouldn't normally let little dogs play with big dogs. This was an accident that they got together. I've had dogs of all sizes all my life and this is the first time I've seen or even heard of this happening.
My thinking, after speaking with the Vet, is that accidents happen. People fall on ski hills all the time with no real problems yet one out of every ten thousand, or hundred thousand or whatever breaks their back. Animals will be animals and when they interact anything CAN happen I suppose.
