THEY look like buddies, but it will take Berry the chihuahua a while to forgive Leroy the horse after he accidentally stomped on his head with the force of his 900kg body weight.
Berry was nearly squashed flat when her pal, a 900kg (140-stone) Clydesdale, stepped backwards on to her head, reports the Metro newspaper.
"There was just this little tiny bit of her nose sticking out.
"I thought she was dead,'" said the animals' owner, 24-year-old Abbey Newton.
A vet gave Berry 24 hours to live and suggested she be put down but instead Ms Newton took her home.
By the morning, the happy dog had bounced back, said Ms Newton, adding: "She just got up and ate my other dog's breakfast."
It's not the first time intrepid Berry has got into trouble.
She has already had a bowel operation after eating a nappy and broke her tail leaping off a sofa.
And she still darts obliviously between Leroy's hooves, said Ms Newton, from Geelong, near Melbourne.
"She just seems to be spring-loaded," she added.
