You two had an extremely close call. Anybody that belittled you for not noting details of the attacking dog when you are trying to save your dog's life and limb should be reported to their supervisors and a complaint registered against such insensitivity and unprofessionalism! You had just been through horror and they have the gall to put you down!?!?! I can tell you they have never had to fight for their baby's life against an attacking dog so just tell them to shove the attitude, get a clue and read a little about traumatic shock reaction! I've been in that sudden attack situation and the only thing you are processing mentally is fighting to save your dog, get that beast off it and get your baby help.

Shock and stress invade the brain and your body and you often blank entirely on even the basics of the event, let alone details. Later, when you aren't so stressed, you likely will remember other things but right now, your brain is still in fight or flight mode, overstressed and pretty much just concentrating on the here and now.

I'm so grateful neither of you was seriously injured and that Luma didn't have to have a lot of surgery, I just can't contain myself! It sounds like she will be fine medically in time and you, too. Don't feel such guilt over what happened. You know from reading post after post here, news reports and watching TV that this happens all the time. It is the irresponsible owner of the loose dog who is at fault - not you!!! God bless you and little Luma.
