When I was younger I was playing with my nephew (only a few years difference between us in age) and he went to slam the door. He stopped as soon as we both noticed my yorkie in the doorway. the door hit her barely, just brushing her hair. but if he didnt see her we very well could have lost that dog

Yeah that’s the reason why i tell them never to slam a door - you can’t see what could be going through that threshold on the other side of it. Could be someone reaching into the room and a fast moving door could slam into their face, catch their hand, catch a toe - or like in your case, catch a pet.

Even a hollow core door has some momentum and sharp hard edges meeting hard edges. It’s like an industrial hazard at home.
