Senior Yorkie Talker | I think I saved Amara's life. Saturday November 5th Amara was attacked by a pit bull. The dog came out of nowhere. She has a cut in her mouth and she cannot walk on her left front paw. She has a bite mark on her chest where her front paw and her leg are together. The dog sniffed her at first and proceeded to clamp down on her throat. I was screaming histerically for the female pit not to hurt her. But the dog didn't care. The dog was snapping and snarling while clamped down on my little baby. I summoned up my courage and charged the dog and shoved her off of Amara. Amara ran away and the dog went after her again. I shoved the dog again and gathered Amara up into my arms. I ran back into my aunts house and told them what happened. Because of my screaming they came to the door. I was in shock. I walked to get Amara's crate to lay her down in and clean her bites and scratches. I called the police and they came and they found the dogs owner. I was in Abbeville when all of this happened. I am now back in Greenville. Amara's arm is hurt and she cannot walk on it. The police told me to watch her closely or take her to the vet. My mom says we're taking her to get checked out. I have been hand feeding Amara and taking her outside to potty with extreme caution. I am now more aware of my surroundings. Somewhat I feel this is my fault. Completely my fault. If only I had been more aware. My baby would not be hurt. |

| I hope her injuries aren't too bad. Let us know how she is doing. Don't blame yourself, you didn't know it was going to happen.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | How terrible for you both. I hope she checks out ok at the vet. You really want to get dog bites/punctures checked out as quickly as possible since they can become infected easily.

| Oh, my gosh! Get your baby to the vet and have those wounds properly cared for. She probably needs to be on antibiotics as bite wounds are full of germs. The pit has to be quarantined, too.

| I am a pitbull LOVER. And what would have made me mad is that the pitbull's owner allowed this. Was the pitbull off leash? He/she was obviously poorly socialized. I specialize in this breed, and they are by nature animal/dog aggressive especially when not properly socialized and consistently worked with. I Love pits but would never all Maci to play with one that was more than just a tiny puppy :/ It's ignorant owners that help these dogs get a bad rap for situations like this. It's sad! I'm glad Amara is okay as far as alive, def get her to the vet to look at her wounds and leg. Praying she is okay!

| What a horrible experience for you and Amara to go through. I know the poor baby must be traumatized. I'm glad you called the police. They need to know what happened. Please let us know how she is doing. Sending prayers and hugs that she will be okay.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I'm sorry your dog was attacked. It's very scary when that happens. I do hope you brought her to a vet before you posted this. She needs to be treated for infection, trauma, shock, and possible broken bones if she's not using her leg. She could also have internal damage done to her neck and chest area.

| Amara needs to be seen by a vet immediately for possibly internal injuries or broken bones. Dog bites need to be taken care of with an antibiotic and any puncture wounds need to be addressed as well. If she has a puncture in her chest she could have a Pneumothorax. Please get your little one medical help NOW
