Guest ss556 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sending lots of prayers for Diamond. This is horrible and I've been through it 3 times with my Alan, not as bad as Diamond, but stitches twice. Please update. Hugs to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_the4pack Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 My Diamond wishes your Diamond all the best to heal 100%. She wants to know if you want some Italians to "take care of things" She knows a couple of Cane Corsos. Sue her for more than just the vet bills. Sue her for YOUR pain and suffering that you encounter when you saw your dog mauled. Judge Judy would give you $5000, the max if you were to go in front of her. And with you on leash and her's off leash, there's no doubt. Your post just got my blood boiling!!!! I walk with a spray, a kitchen knife and 6 foot walking staff. God help the dog or person who hurts my babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona3 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I am so sorry this happened. Irresponsible owners and aggressive dogs - the worst combination possible. It just makes me angry. Please know all my prayers and good thoughts are going out to Diamond and also hugs to you. This was a traumatic experience.

Rickiesmom Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) How awful - sending prayers Diamond recovers fully from her wounds. I agree with others - this owner is completely irresponsible to be letting an aggressive dog loose without even a muzzle, and she should be held accountable for the consequences. Consider as well that in addition to the cost of the immediate vet care, there will probably be follow-on rehab, etc., to be taken care of. Hugs to you both.

Guest FordRacingRon Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sending prayers and white light for your precious Diamond. Unless you've been there you don't realize how horrific this is. It may take months for your pup to heal both physically and mentally. Having been there, with some respect, I know what this is like. You're right, it happens so blindingly fast. I carry pepper spray and a stun gun but the day Leia was attacked had I been armed that day, I still would not have been able to stop the pit that got her. Right now concentrate on you and your pup. In a few days go after that (Rymes with witch) with all the law and lawyers you can muster. That pit belongs locked up forever. I won't say put down, but should never be allowed to roam free again.

Guest GREYTGLITTER Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I was just telling my DH your story and he sends along positive thoughts and quick healing to Diamond and you. Glad to hear you have contacted your selectman. You should go after this dog owner for everything you can - medical expenses, etc. It would be so nice to hear that an irresponsible dog owner got hit where it hurts - in the wallet and maybe got some other punishment. I hope that all the attention does not go towards the dog being a pit bull because the OWNER, not the breed, is responsible for the dog being able to get to Diamond.

racindog Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Prayers going up! Poor Diamond! Thank goodness you are adamant about pursuing this and trying to prevent it from happenning to another innocent victim. Irresponsible people seem to gravitate to mutant trash dogs and let them run wild. Good luck in your prosecution, lawsuit evrything you can think of! And most of all love and get well wishes to poor Diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytbookert Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) I keep thinking about poor Diamond. If you haven't done so already, make sure you take pictures. I know it must be horrible to look at but you'll need documentation if/when you pursue legal action.

gracegirl Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm praying hard that Diamond is okay. Her wounds sound similar to the attack Grace suffered...which healed with out too many bumps in the road. You'd never know today what she went though, she's 100% unchanged with no lasting effects from the attack (THANK GOD!)

Guest EllaTheGreyt Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Not to sound crude, but that pit owner is an idiot! I am sick to my stomach after reading about your baby I hope justice is served and your Diamond is back 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdisto Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hmm, any chance the dog could be rescued by a responsible person and the current owner could be put to sleep?!?! Just kidding - but if he would attack another dog this viciously he shouldn't be allowed out in public. Prayers that Diamond heals quickly.

Guest zoolaine Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Poor Diamond, hope she feels better and everything heals. What kind of stupid bozo walks a known aggressive dog without a leash. The dog was just loose or was it on a leash and got away from the owner? Either way if she can't control the dog it should not be out in public (and shouldn't be off leash at all). I feel so sorry for you and Diamond and the your other two dogs too - they must have been scared to death. Please keep us updated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm sorry this happened. I hope Diamond heals up well. The other dog's owner is clearly an idiot. If she knows her dog is aggressive towards other dogs she should not be walking it off-leash, ever. Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you live in an area where there is a leash law and you see a loose dog, call AC EVERY time. Don't just try to avoid the dog or hope that you won't run into that owner again. Irresponsible owners like this usually don't get the 'hint' until you get them in trouble or it hits them in the wallet. They need to learn their lesson before they start acting responsibly and leashing up their dog. Sometimes calling AC every time is what it takes. Best of luck with Diamond. ~Lindsay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
