[gdum-l] Dog Attack

[Pat Mitchell]

Hi Carl, 

This is horrendous and unacceptible.  Where do these pet owners think that they're going to get away with this kind of stuff?  This makes me so angry.  I hope your boy is fine today.  I would get any organization after the owner of that pitbull.  

Pat and Niq!

  Hello All:

  I just wanted to update you on something that happened to me and Kinley last night. As I was leaving the Stockyard Restaurant in Boston, Kinley was attacked by a charging pit bull. The Pit Bull was fast and ferocious. And did not want to let go. It was very traumatic.  Kinley was on harness and leash the whole time and could do little or nothing to defend himself Finally the roommate of the owner separated them. Kinley has a few abrasions, scratches, and one minor puncture in the leg. It could have been a lot worse. 

   

  I am home with him today to make sure he is okay. I have reported the incident to animal control and spoken to the owner about paying for the vet expenses.

   

  Now I understand the need to have the legislation and support to those have had their service animal attacked by another animal not under one's control

   

  Take care,

  Carl
