I'm so sorry. That sounds like a horrible scare. I hope she's OK.

I agree with some of the others that you should continue to go to the meetups and help with Gracie's socialization. Also, speak with either the person putting the meetups together or the other dog owner or both. If this is a leashed park and a leashed group, everyone should obey the rules.

That said, we all really have to be alert at parks with our dogs. A lot of dog owners break the rules. Just because it's their fault doesn't make it any safer for our pups. I'm constantly on the lookout for unleashed dogs. There are times I lead mine another direction, there are times I scoop them up, and there are times I let them sniff each other. But don't let unleashed dogs surprise you.

And please don't take that as an admonition. I don't know the circumstances. Just a general tip for situations like yours.
