I think deep down I realise that there is nothing I can do. But someone
might have an amazing cure.

I have a red oak which was a present. About 8ft tall. Planted out this
spring.
Have just found out the puppies (-who might not be long for this world if
they keep this up !! ) have stripped the bark from the bottom 2ft or so.
I know it is basically my fault for not using a tree guard (all the others
are done because of the rabbits) and for not supervising the damned dogs
more closely (Actually I love 'em to bits, but that is irrelevant)

Is there a miracle compound that I can bandage the trunk with to help it
survive?

Your husband/boyfriend might object if I performed that action.
You may be lucky with the damaged tree, but beware - my cousin had a dog
(retriever) that turned its attention to chewing furniture, wallpaper, etc.
Get them properly trained ASAP or you may have years of expense in repair
bills.
