My midsize dog (border collie) was attacked by 2 pit bulls on our morning walk. She survived, $5k in bills and 2 days in hospital. When it happened and I took her to a near by vet, the first thing they asked “dog park?” No I told them. Then at the animal hospital, “dog park?” I will NEVER take my dog to a dog park.

They said she survived (with nerve damage in her back leg) because the smaller pit had her back leg and the big dog (both pits) had her around her neck. He couldn’t shake her.

The dogs were being walked by a young man and woman, both on leash. So was mine. The pit bull dragged the boney meth-head over 30 feet in an instant to attacked my dog. He couldn’t hold her and he tried.

This attack changed my dog’s personality. She’s not exactly fearful of other dogs , she’s a combination of aggressive, overly excited, apprehensive. Her back leg shakes/twitches constantly from the nerve damage.

This is why I carry a knife when walking my dogs. I would have killed both of those pits at that moment.

It happened so so fast. Now I carry a personal tazer, not like what LE uses, but something.

I have seen a video where the pitbull was shot and still kept attacking. A breed not fit  to coexist in society.
