on a more important note, sooooooo glad to hear your son and his puppy are ok!!!:D i really hope he gets back the full use of his hand and i'm glad you made it up there safely to be with him. prayers are still with you and your family!!!

What an answer to prayer! Thank God your son is ok AND even his puppy. That is great! So brave of him to not give up in getting the dog off his pup. Wow. I am sure you feel so much better! I am glad you have the support of YT. I am sure I would have done the same thing by coming here and sharing what was on my heart. I am sure you were going crazy being so far away, but thank God everything is OK.

I really hope they take the dog away from these owners. It is obvious they are not responsible and do not deserve such a dog.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers, we are in Chicago, we had to drive all night, but arrived a couple hours before my sons surgery...his left hand was damaged pretty bad but Dr.s feel he will have full use of his hand, it is just going to take some time, and some physical therapy...
Armani, had some surgery too, he is doing awesome! what a trooper!!! he is actually happy and prancing around! He is now at my soon to be daugherinlaws parents house, they have been awesome, to take on Armani, so we can be with my son....we went and visited him tonight, to give him some loving from my son.

I have to go back and read all the messages, I just wanted to hurry and write what was happening, this is first time I have been by a computer.

I have to say how PROUD I am of my son, he fought to save his puppy, and wouldnt give up till Armani was safe... without a thought for himself.

My son was walking out the door of his building and turned right and didnt see the pit coming around the corner, he attacked Armoni's jaw first and my son, jumped on top of the pit, the pit turned and latched onto my sons hand, my son went down then the pit turned and got Armani by the throat...my son was on him again, even though he was in terrible pain, the ppl that owned the pit were yelling at my son not to hurt THERE dog!!! a neighbor saw this and handed my son different kitchen untencils, through the door, to try and pry the pits mouth open, and the owner of the pit kept grabbing them and throwing them, finally they handed him a crowbar and he pryed his mouth open and he let go of the puppy, the neighbor grabbed Armani and pulled him into the building. Then my son still had the pit....the owner PUSHED my son off the pit, he fell over, and had no strength left and the pit came back at him, lunging at his face he put his arm up and the pit locked onto it..the owner finally got chain around the pit and got him off my son....THEN they left my son laying out in the street and LEFT!..the neighbors had called police and ambulance, they pulled my son into the building and locked the door and waited with him till ambulance got there...It was such a violent experience, it just breaks my heart...

sorry so long.....

after reading all the post, I know I should of put dog instead of the breed, I am an animal lover, I love every single one out there...I blame the owners, if you are going to have a big animal, esp. one with a bad reputation, and you love your animal, then you need to take precautions, as in training and leashes. What I dont get, cause I love my dogs (rotty and 2 yorkies) why would you ever put your dog in a situation, where you might have it taken away from you, or worse yet, put down?

I am very emotional today, kind of like whew! and letting it out. I would never want to offend anyone, but will stick up for myself, as a wife, mother and grandmother...so if anyoe else thought it was in bad taste to post what I was going through the other day, I am sorry, I am on YT alot, and have talked to alot of you, and felt like I could come in here and ask for some good thought and prayers..

I'm thrilled your son and his pup are going to be okay. What an absolutely horrifying ordeal for them to go through. I do hope the owner is prosecuted.

You've no need to apologize, as you did nothing wrong by posting a request for prayer.

Lorenzo is coming home on wed. if he keeps doing so well WHOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I cannot wait to get him back into his home! He is so anxious to see Armani, for himself and make sure he is okay.

We accomplished alot today, saw a lawyer and met with the building Owners. Sad part is there is not alot we can do about getting the dog out of the building, since the owners of the building, were not aware of this being a vicious dog, BUT now that they have been made aware,if someone else is hurt, or another animal is attacked, they know they will be liable and could be sued. So we are pretty confident, that they dont want that to happen, and will tell the owners of the dog, that he has to go. I only pray it is before wed. so we can bring my son home, without the threat of running into this dog, and he can relax.

There is a court date in May, with animal control, where these ppl will be made accountable for there dog. We have been told it is not a big deal and they will only be charged with a $50.00 fine, but we decided to press it, and make these owners have to stand there in front of everyone, and be shamed, for there actions.
