on a more important note, sooooooo glad to hear your son and his puppy are ok!!! 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!!!

Exactly.

I can't tell you how happy I am to come and read your son and puppy are ok.
Sending warm thoughts and love

Don't worry about negative posts - some people always seem to try and find their own 'cause' be it totally inappropriate or maybe they just didn't grasp your post (over their heads). I am very glad to hear a better outcome than I thought it might have been. Sorry the owners of the pit were of no help - I hope this dog is dealt with properly - In my opinion, if it attacked for no reason - it will do it again, and next time the out come for owner or pet might not be as lucky....

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.

I'm so glad both your son and his puppy are doing well. He must have been so brave and courageous seeing that dog and feeling it attack him and fighting so hard for his little dogs life!!

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.....

WOW - that had to be terrifying for your son ! I'm so glad they're both ok - that easily could have been so much worse.....

So glad that everyone is doing better.......will also keep praying for a speedy recovery....Rose and Levi

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.

oh yes - I totally agree - you just went thru what most of us only hear about - NO APOLOGIES ! Just take care of your son and take a big sigh of relief - it must have been hell waiting to get there and see him for yourself...

I hope they do go after the owners - I don't blame dogs but do blame owners when I hear about stuff like this - there's too many people out there that have no control or take precautions when they have large animals and its people like your son and his dog who suffer (and could be killed)

I really am glad they're both going to be ok. What a nightmare....

How terrible. I am so glad to hear your son and Armani are going to be ok. What your son did was amazing.

[Sookie]

I'm so glad your son and Armani are doing a little bit better today. No matter how old our children are, they are still our "babies". I'm glad all the YT prayers helped - what a horrible experience this must have been for all of you. ((HUGS))

[marcie]

What an ordeal.... I am so happy everything is going well. Still praying for their recovery. Prayers from YT having been non stop!

I am so relieved to hear that your son and his pup are going to be ok.

[Britster]

Wow!! How scary!! I'm so glad everyone is ok!

[ARCHIE]

It's wonderful to read your son and his puppy will be ok.
What an horrific story. Your son is very brave and Armani is quite
the little trooper. I hope he get's justice for this somehow.
