New rhubarb - what's happened? :(

Not a disaster I know, well not yet anyway.
Wondering if something has been trying to eat it?
It could be that our dog has trodden on it, but I can't really see how.
Thanks for any help. It was doing so well too.

Trying to be the person my dog thinks I am!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I can see a few paw-sized marks on the compost

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Seeing that it's a first year crown, wondering if I should remove the stalk or leave it alone? Don't want disease setting in, and it would be nice to have a little bonus taster in a very small apple and rhubarb crumble. If the stalk's still able to support the young plant, then I'll leave it be.

I'd remove it and use it ... pulling and twisting carefully from the base, so that it doesn't leave a stump that can rot. Enjoy!
