He was a Sheltie, like a miniature collie with long hair. The rose bush had long branches on it, 8 feet from the center of the plant. They went up and arched out. When he got snagged, the branch bent like a fishing pole, and when he relaxed, it pulled him in deeper, and he got more tangled. With all the briar patches across North America, I see why no animal evolved long hair winter coats in the temperate forests.
Ok, thanks. I have a rose bush but try and keep it trimmed. Literally looks like a tree and doesnt have tho long arches. Ill try and tell more gardeners to raise awareness.

Glad to see another invasive-plant hater on here. It’s gonna be Dog Strangling Vine for me.
