| Luma was attacked... Firstly she is OKAY...I am out of town on holiday and decided to take Luma out to go potty while we are at a friend's...I put hrr harness and leash on and we went out. We were still in his garage (door was upp) and a stray dog lunged towards us. I got scared and yanked luma up in the air but the dog bit her...I had to kick it to make it let go...Luma was crying and I rushed to the car and Was crying ended up calling 911 becuase I dont know an emergency vet here. Luma got bit on her tummy and her leg...not too bad but there was lots of blood and she is shaken but not whining when I left. They are doing xrays because I thought her leg may have been hurt.. I had to leave to go to the hospital for myself becaude I got bitten too...I didnt want to go but animal control came and made me get it checked so please just keep us in prayer I'm so scared there may be internal damage to Luma since she was bitten in the stomach...they are checking her out. The dog came out of nowhere and I'm so sorry my little baby I let you get hurt...sooo sorry I love yoy my sweet little baby. Mama is sorry...

| Oh my golly, What a nightmare, Carmen! I am so worried about you both. Did you find a vet, or is animal control doing the X-rays? Please let us know as soon as possible how she is doing. It sounds like she was bitten pretty hard. And what about you? How are you? Where were you bitten? Did they catch the dog? Oh Carmen, I'm so, so sorry. You must have been scared to death. I will pray. Don't blame yourself. You did all you could. You're such a good Mama to little Luma. You were both very brave. Love, blessings and prayers for you both.

| I am fine. They made me leave her at the er vet to get myself checked. I got a prescription for antibiotics and rushed back to see her. She's stable, temp is good, xrays show nothing is broken...which is a complete wonder...I was convinced her leg was broke because she would not move at all. The bite on her stomach was superficial and they cleaned it. The leg had something called dead space? I think? The skin was pulled from the tissue so they are draining it I guess for infection I dont really know I let my boyfriend handle all of that because I was barely listening to anything they've said, just staying by Luma's side. She wont drink or eat so they are keeping her overnight. I wish I could stay right in here with her. Merry christmas...not...animal control is still looking for the dog last I heard. I feel like an idiot because they all belittled me for not being able to tell them where the dog came from or ran off to. Like I can be concerned with anything else right now besides Luuma. It's so unfair. I feel HORRIBLE and I just wish we could bring her home...

| I just can't stop crying. Why did this happen to the most precious baby there is? I fele such deep guilt. I know it could be so much worse but she didn't deserve this...Tony said lets bring a potty pad into he friend's house..she is pad trained...I didnt want to do that. I said I can just take her out. Never again...

| Aww, hun, don't let them make you feel bad. You were doing the best you could to protect your baby and yourself. How scary! I'm glad Luma is ok. I know you want her home, but I'm glad she's being cared for there tonight. That way they can watch her vital signs, and make sure she stays well tonight. I know it's going to be impossible, but try to get some rest. Eat a little something so the antibiotic doesn't upset your tummy. I'll pray Luma is able to rest tonight, and comes home in the morning. Thanks for taking the time to update us.

| Just today I took my 2 out for a walk. Got in front of the neighbors house and maybe 50 feet away, on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street, there was Doberman all by itself. I had never seen this dog in the neighborhood before, and I jerked mine back into the house first. Another time when I was walking only one, we were jumped by two German Shepherds. The woman walking them just couldn't control them and they got away from her. I pulled Jez up in my arms, so they were only able to scratch me and not get to her. Man did I ever give that woman a piece of my mind. It's scary. You never would expect that given that you were still in the garage! I'm glad that everything seems to be something that can be recovered from. Did they not suggest that you take precautions for rabies?

| Oh gosh, I am so sorry to hear that this happened. What type of dog was it? You must have been so scared... We have been approached by aggressive looking dogs on our walks and I don't know what I would do if we were attacked I carry mase, but I worry that I wouldn't be able to spray it fast enough. I will be thinking about both you and Luma. Please update us when you can.

| SoSo I just found out that my bf was helping animal control look for the dog, and a neighbor came out to see what was going on. He said just hours ago he saw a girl walking her little dog and two black pitbulls came out of nowhere chasing her!! I cant believe it. Its extremely likely one of those dogs was the one who went after Luma. I'm shaken at the thought that there were TWO of them...thank God only one came after us...if both had attacked, things couldve been so much worse...well animal control has their hands full and the dogs were working together. I hope they had tags because if so, those owners will definitely be hearing from me and will be held responsible for what happened tto Luma and myself, even if I have to take them to small claims court.

| I feel so bad for what happened to you and Luma, but thankful you are both okay. What thing to take the joy out of the holidays. I hope you both feel better tomorrow and that they are able to find that dog. That had to be so terrifying for you and Luma. Hugs to you.
