This kind of stories are hit me so hard when I read them! Looks like we have ourselves another little fighter. I still remember the ungodly cries when Gus was being attacked. I will never get that sound out of my head. But my poor daughter seen everything while it was happening. I thank God everyday that my little guy made it when even the vet's were saying it didn't look too good of him even surviving the night. Well survive he did!
In our case it was a German Shepherd and I did press charges. They got fined, and had to pay all vet fees. And it was the dogs 1st strike. The owners did fix all repairs to the yard but the girl was a jumper and a digger and would find a new way of getting out everytime. It was a few month later when she got out again and killed a puppy who was playing with in my neighbors yard with human sibs. And they did come out and take the dog and had no choice but to put it down. I really don't trust any big dog around my Gus. He is just was too small and can get hurt by the big dog by playing too rough.
