I work with a rescue in my area to get dogs that are in danger of being euthanized out of the shelters... The lady that runs the shelter called me the other day, and asked if I could pick up a momma pit and her 13 (YES
thirteen) babies. She wanted me to keep them overnight and then transport them the next day to a city where she could meet me and pick them up. I told her that I live in an apartment, and I would get in trouble if I brought
14 dogs there... especially pit bulls, who are not allowed here anyways.
So I called up a friend to see if they could stay in her bathroom for the night, and I would pick them up the next morning to transport them. She, of course said yes, and said to bring them on over. I told her that the momma was cat agressive and to keep her small dogs away from her...
So I dropped them off while she was in town, and I locked them in the bathroom and they were completely fine...
About an hour later, she texts me to tell me that the dog had attacked her chi
I was at the grocery store, so I rushed over asap, to go be with her. The chi was and lying on her back, her tongue out... just in complete and utter shock. My friend said she had done this before when a stray dog attacked her, and she was completely fine afterwards. I was really worried, but because she was so confident, I just pet her and stayed there a while.
After I left, she called me to tell me that her dog had died.... I immediately went to the emergency vet where she was and bawled my eyes out. I was responsible for her dog's death. This dog was her life... I feel so guilty, and my heart is heavy. I don't know what to do.
I have thought about getting her another chi eventually, but I don't know when to bring it up. I talked to her husband last night, and he said that he might find a way to talk about it with her. I just want to do something to make it
somewhat better.... I know no other dog is going to replace her Tink, but I feel so guilt ridden. She says it's not my fault, but I feel that it is.
The lady that owns the rescue told me she has a doxie/chi cross in another rescue that they could give to me. I just don't know...
Here he is... I know it's too early, but I hope to eventually find her a new baby if she will let me
