If there is a genetic marker for a tendency to break a specific bone, apparently Phantom has it. in 2016, Phantom survived (by a miracle) getting hit by a car with remarkabley little damage. He did however, have a broken toe in his hind left foot that ended up getting amputated.
in 2026, Nighthawk, just days before going to his forever home, managed to break a toe in a household accident. Which toe? same as the one his father lost 10 years before.
Coincidence? Genetics?
