Default Yorkie attacked by UNLEASHED Black Lab...w/pix

Heres the details from Saturday and this weekend:

Mom was walking Buster (3 year old Yorkshire Terrier) and out of the blue came a Black Lab. Ran right at Buster and bit down hard and shook him. Owner came running and grabbed the lab, but Buster was hurt bad.

My Mom ran home with the dog and they called the vet and quickly drove him into the vet hospital. He was in pretty bad shape Saturday night the last I heard.

He had to have a surgery Saturday night to re-attach musle to his bone and skin, as well as had to have the puncture wounds cleaned. He now is doing a little better says the doc (but looks horrible and if not for the pain meds, is in a lot of pain).

Cops gave the owners a WARNING. But I looked up and according to Wisconsin law, they should have at LEAST gotten a ticket for a dog not being on a leash, and having that dog cause destruction to a person, domestic animal, or property.

Got call this morning from my mother and apparently the doctor said that he is now putting weight on his left front leg (which they thought had really bad nerve damage). So that is a good sign. He will be going home today sometime and then will have the drainage tubes taken out on Wed.

I will keep this thread updated in the coming days if anyone cares. Pictures are below, and I apologize in advance for the quality. All I had with me was my cell phone.
