Absolutely Devastated

[iluvmargie]

My beautiful boy Bruno was attacked in the park this morning by a much bigger dog. It came from nowhere around a bend and just launched itself at my boy grabbing hold of his neck. Bruno is a big dog too but as gentle as a lamb but he tried to fight this dog off. There was blood everywhere and he was screaming at one terrible point our eyes locked and his were pleading. I tried and tried to kick the brute off him and I was yelling and yelling for help. There was nobody a sould around and the dog seemed to be alone. Then as suuddenly as it appeared it ran off and disappeared and my boy was lying mortally wounded on the ground and crying pitifully. I was still screaming and screaming for help and two men on the other side of the path heard me and came running over. They were wonderful,they picked him up between them ever so gently and we went to the flat of one of them and got his car. Bruno is now at the emergency vet's in a very, very bad way. The vet doesn't hold out too much hope as the injuries are horrendous. He is drugged up to the eyeballs so he won't be feeling pain. She has sent me home so I can clean myself up, I'm covered in b ood and told me to go back when I feel up to it and she will ease him gently on his way. I can't believe it, I can't believe it. He was well and happy this morning and now he's at death's door becasue of a vicious dog that seemed to be running around on its own. Where's the owner ????? What can I do, I can't report it to the police, they are not interested in dog on dog attacks - pity I didn't get bitten, they would have acted then. I live alone that dog was my life, my woofer I called him and now he's leaving me and he won't want too, he won't want too Oh God, Oh God. Help me Please help me. I'll never get over this, I'll see it in my minds eye for the rest of my days and I'll hear his screams. And his eyes oh God his eyes. My beautiful, friendly boy. My boy. I'm in so much pain.

Margie, I'm so sorry, I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. I hope that, however this turns out for your lovely boy that he remains out of pain.
You should report this to the police, as someone has said previously, it might be a child next time. Thinking of you.

[pastafreak]

Oh heavens, what an horrific experience for you both. Poor poor Bruno...I hope that everything possible is done for him, and that he has the strength to get well.
Please,please report this. Even get posters put up with the attacking dogs description...it may save someone else's dog.
My thoughts are with you...wishing you positive news.

David the owner of the dog needs destroying letting a dog like that off the lead in a public place.
Margie I'm hoping against hope your boy will make it. XX

So sorry to hear what has happened with yourself and Bruno. I agree with what has been said, see if there are CT cameras in the park, ask the police if others have reported an attack. I do hope the vets can save him for you, fingers crossed.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Dreadful news and so sorry for you and Bruno. Is there any possibilty of it being captured on CCTV? It must be reported as it could happen to another dog and possibly the owner too, or even worse a child could be badly injured.

[Barsel]

Sorry I meant as Bakers Dozen said, CCTV.

I am sorry to hear about this, poor you and Bruno.

My rescue dog could start a fight anywhere so I had to keep him on a lead.

I hope your boy makes a full recovery, but get in touch with the police.

The RSPCA advises that dog on dog attacks should be reported to both the police and your council, so be sure to do that.

[Dagman]

Iluvmargie, try to report this to the police, surely the other dog should be labelled unleashed and dangerous, it could have attacked anyone let alone your poor Bruno. I wish you love in this awful time.

[Ellipsis]

That is horrific. So sorry for you and Bruno, ILM ...

[tiggerblue10]

So sorry to read this. What a horrific experience for poor Bruno and you. Keeping my fingers crossed he pulls through x

[MartinMillar]

How dreadful but I can only reiterate what other have said you must report this to the police

[Patsy33]

So upsetting...
Please report to Police when you can. Thoughts are with you & dear Bruno. Best wishes.

[iluvmargie]

He's gone, my beautiful boy has gone. Thank you all for your utter kindness. My wonderful sister is here and will stay with me tonight. I don't know how I'll cope with this. I can't say any more right now.
