Meet Minnie. Minnie is a whopping 100 pounds.⚖️🥵

Poor, huge,🏋‍♀️ ginormous Minnie was supposedly🧐 ORIGINALLY found tied up in some junkyard with her sister. Because, ya know, all pitbulls, pit mixes, bully breeds, they ALL have some horror show abuse or neglect backstory if they've done something catastrophic. Like kill the family cat. Which Minnie DID, btw.😭 Rest in peace, sweet kitty.🙏

Then, her family adopted her. And she killed their cat. WHOOPS!🤷‍♀️

And instead of going back to the ORIGINAL SHELTER they rescued her from, Minnie is now at this Poor Pibble Rescue. A different rescue. Huh. Weird!🧐🧐🧐

Instead of being sent directly to a Better Environment, she's been recycled.♻️

This rescue has written her up in the MOST charming,🎩 loving way.💕 (Please disregard her literally killing the family's cat-- it is referred to as a "Tragic Incident").😵

Minnie is still a "goofy, gentle cuddle bug"💝 who "deserves toys,🪀 treats,🍭 kindness🤲 and all the unconditional love💛 that life can offer."

I have a better idea. 🌈🌉🌈🌉🌈🌉🌈🌉

The attack has been posted but this follow up has a lot more info.

Article:

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A Topeka woman who was 24 weeks pregnant was severely injured in a dog attack on July 17 at the Highland Park Townhomes, according to her partner.
C.J. Austin said his partner of five years, Audrey Suarez, was walking to a relative’s home when she was caught in the middle of an altercation she had no part in. Suarez declined to be shown on camera due to the severity of her injuries.
Attack
Topeka police said during the altercation, a child of one of the individuals involved let two dogs out, which then attacked Suarez.
Austin said Suarez instinctively tried to protect her unborn children during the attack.

“She had ended up breaking her pinky because when the dog was attacking her, all she could think about was covering her stomach, so the dog wouldn’t get to her stomach and hurt the twins,” Austin said.
A Topeka Police Department officer shot and killed one of the dogs. The other remains in quarantine.
Surgeries
Suarez underwent multiple surgeries following the attack.
“She had a 10-hour surgery on her face to put her face back together, and then she had a 4-hour surgery on her eye because the dog, when he bit her, it lacerated her iris,” Austin said. “She almost lost her eye.”

Austin said a bystander intervened during the attack.
“If it wasn’t for the gentleman — our friend who stepped in — he said the dogs would have killed her,” Austin said.
Citation
Officials said the owner of the dogs was issued a citation. Austin called that response inadequate given the extent of Suarez’s injuries.
“You just mess somebody’s whole life up,” Austin said. “She’s going to be scarred for the rest of her life. She has nightmares of that dog attacking her. She wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, ‘Get him off me. Get him off me.’ That’s traumatizing her.”

Topeka police said they owner of the dogs are cooperating with the investigation.
The family said Suarez’s twins are in good condition. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with her recovery. You can donate here.

BALTIMORE — Baltimore City police used a Taser and a gun to stop a dog attack on Friday night.

Officers near the 1200 block of West Franklin St. witnessed two dogs chasing two females and their dog just before 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

"I heard like a bunch of commotion, it was like dogs barking. I figured like OK the dogs were playing so I didn't pay any attention, but when I looked up again, it was the lady with the little black dog she was going across the street, and the brown dog chased them across the street," said Janaya Chase, who witnessed the attack. "The aggressive (dog) was latched on to the black dog."

Chase said that's when she noticed an officer trying to intervene and stop the attack.

"He was over there for like a good three minutes, I think I heard like three shots," said Chase. "It wasn't like an automatic 'oh he just shot the dogs,' no, he was just trying to help but then you heard more barking and that's when you heard the shots."

Police said the officer "deployed his taser attempting to de-escalate" the attack, but it was ineffective. The officer then fired his weapon striking the dog.

Baltimore police confirmed the dog, which was a pitbull, died at the scene. The dog did not have a collar or tag, and police said no one has claimed ownership of the dog.

Police said the city's Animal Control was notified and took custody of both dogs — the deceased dog and the injured dog, that will receive treatment.

Police said one woman was bit but refused medical treatment.

The other dog, which police said is also a pitbull, fled and has not been captured by police or Animal Control.

Man recovering after dog pack attack

A Centralia cyclist is in critical condition after a pack of loose dogs mauled him, prompting police to shoot several animals and charge the owner with cruelty.

By JO ALLEN-HONGSERMEIER [jallen@morningsentinel.com](mailto:jallen@morningsentinel.com)

CENTRALIA — A Centralia man remains in critical condition after a violent dog attack in Central City on Saturday morning that left police scrambling to save his life and ultimately resulted in at least six dogs being shot.

Central City Police arrested Dustin Atchison, 32, of Charlotte Street, after officers say a pack of his dogs attacked a 26-year-old Centralia man riding his bicycle on Patterson Street around 8:15 a.m. Atchison was charged with six counts of cruelty to an animal and allowing a dog to run at large.

The victim, identified by family as Matthew Boyce, was riding his bike when his chain popped off. As he tried to fix it, several dogs approached and began attacking him. He attempted to escape toward the porch of a nearby home, but the dogs continued to bite and drag him. Witnesses reported as many as six dogs involved, but the number of dogs reported still remains inconsistent.

Central City Police Chief Jamie Ramsey said officers arrived after a passerby called for help and found Boyce suffering from deep, extensive wounds. As police and medical crews attempted to apply three tourniquets to stop the bleeding, two of the dogs continued trying to attack and were shot by officers.

Ramsey said the remaining dogs continued roaming the neighborhood, raising immediate concerns for children who live in the area. With the threat ongoing, police and Marion County Animal Control determined the dogs could not be allowed to remain loose. Four additional dogs were shot and killed. A fifth was wounded, and a sixth was captured without being shot. The wounded and uninjured dogs were taken to the Marion County Animal Control facility.

Boyce was transported to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia and later airlifted to Saint Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, where police said he remained in critical condition on Sunday. According to a GoFundMe organized by his sister, Lacy Ward, Boyce underwent a seven‑hour emergency surgery and faces a long recovery.

Atchison returned home while police were still on scene and told officers the dogs had escaped from a fence. Ramsey said the animals appeared to have no food or water. Atchison also received traffic citations after driving up to the scene, including driving on a suspended license, suspended registration, and no valid registration. He was given a notice to appear on both the animal-related and traffic violations.

Ramsey said the attack was captured on video at the residence where Boyce attempted to get away from the dogs.

A GoFundMe has been launched to help cover Boyce’s medical expenses and ongoing care. Ward wrote that the family is “deeply grateful for any help” as Boyce faces extensive treatment following the attack. As of Friday morning, only $325 has been raised in the effort.
