Dior, My precious little baby. My Everything.
I celebrated Dior's 3rd birthday on April 22, 2008. I usually dont let 4lb Dior sleep on my bed, but the last week things were different.He would bark and bark to come into my room, so for the last couple of days, Ive been sleeping with him.

It was a beautiful Saturday, I decided to get some doggie treats for Dior, We usually pace back and forth on the block, We were 2 minutes away from my apartment, when with no advance warning, a Pitbull Attacked My Dior. It was with one bite on the neck,the pitbull shaking his head and never letting go. I tried so hard to unjaw / unlock the hold it has on Dior, but at the end. The pitbull did let go,I saw blood everywhere. But most , my Dior was gone. Eyes open with his toungue sticking out.He was gone.

I was also injured during the struggle and bitten by
the pit bull. I went to the emergency room and got all the necessary shots
but follow up will be needed.

I found out that the lady that was walking the dog was not the owner of the dog, I have not gotten any more information on this case yet.

What can I Do as in a Lawsuit? What will happen to the Pitbull?

- Im Writing this for my friend as her, since she is devistated . I will tell her this information and forward this thread to her, once she finds some peace.

Thank you so much. My avatar is a photo of Dior. It was her Life.
