I was running a local bike path around the lake in my town this morning and saw a lot of commotion (fd, pd, ems) and called my brother (fd) to see what the deal was. He told me to be careful, a woman had been mauled by 2 pits who were running the neighborhood and they hadn't been caught. Thankfully I didn't have Whitney and Favorite, was alone. I watched them land a helicopter, load her up and fly away and had no idea that it was our music minister's wife. We are good friends with them, especially my husband and hers, and I'm just in shock. They caught the pits and tracked down the owner, who is not having any criminal charges filed against him by the pd.
Turns out she had her two doxies with her and the pits attacked one of her dogs. She scooped the other one up to protect it and they came after her. She is pretty messed up, and they took her straight to tga trauma in Tampa by helicopter for surgery, but she is going to survive at least. She plays the piano like a goddess, and the pits got one of her arms the worst. Her doxies are both ok. Please say a prayer for her and her family. This has been a crazy morning! I was so excited to watch the medivac land because I had never seen one that close, and the whole time I'm snapping pictures and just in aw, it's her and I had no idea. This kind of thing was bound to happen in our town. There are several dogs like this who run loose near my MIL's house and one of them, a GSD, came after my 1.5yr old nephew last week! What a crazy morning.
Sorry if it's rambling. I'm still just, wow.
