I am so sorry this happened... I can imagine how terrifying it must have been. The advice given already is basically what I would say.. document everything, pictures, paper trails, etc. and I also agree that giving the owners a chance to make things right before seeking legal aid is a good idea.
It makes me sad to see this sort of thing happen... Pit bulls are not allowed in Ontario anymore, if you owned one before the law came into effect you have to have it muzzled at all times when outside the home.
I hope Merlot continues to heal physically, and that you all can start to heal emotionally. Take care and keep us informed.
