Advice needed on Ponytail Palm injury

Yankton, SD

The dog knocked over this guy right on its head :( Its pretty much my husband's baby and we are both a little worried about how it will grow from now. Any advice would be great. This is the damage about 2 weeks after it happened, most to all of the new leaves were snapped.

The only thing you can do is give it lots of sun, don't overwater and hope for the best. It may resprout lower on the stem or come back at the top.
