During the week after the incident, Healy spoke to the media about the aftermath with her dogs.
“My right index finger took a bit of a battering … when I pulled my finger out initially, I thought I was in strife,” Healy said.
“They’re probably worse for wear than I was.
“But we’re all friends, we all sat on the couch together last night and debriefed the situation, so we’re all getting along fine.”
