Such an awful frustrating situation. My son was bitten by a German Shepherd several years ago when he was only 5. The police told us they could not do anything because it was the first time the dog had ever bitten anyone. Imagine! Some poor soul had to be bitten by the same dog again before they would take any action. My son still carries the scar from that attack.
Seems like each area has their own ideas of how animals should be dealt with when this type of thing occurs. Taking one person's word against another does not make much sense. You have the proof of what happened. Your tiny dog is ripped open by a dog that is so many times her size! What else does that women need to know??
I still walk Gracie with wide open eyes and ears after having one of my other little dogs attacked a few years back. I go out prepared to protect her because you just don't know what could approach you at any given moment. It's sad. I would love to walk her in certain areas but choose not to because of the risk of being confronted by a dog with a senseless owner. I hope somehow you can help prevent some other dog (or person) from being attacked by the one who got your little girl and I pray your little girl will heal well and live out her life without pain from the injury. |
