I really hope this is not one sided to "muscular mouthed dogs" it does not need to have "big powerful jaws" to tear tissue or muscles,nerves,tendons. This case is a perfect example,look at the jaw structure of a scottish terrier. It is not thick bone,or thich muscles. Exact opposite almost. The main cause of that damage is caused most of the time with the k9 tooth/teeth,and in some cases the dogs ability to have "lock jaw" are a result too. These tend to be smaller and pointier as well in smaller breeds of dogs. Science proves smaller surface area is more likely to puncture or break then with a thicker surface area.Therefore it is also going to be more likely to tear and damage any body tissue.
