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.

So very sorry to hear this. Such a tragic end.

His pain, fear and anguish have gone too. Take some comfort in that if you can.

He had a lovely life with you and you must remember that.
It will take some time to get over the trauma you have experienced today. Take it one day at a time. I wish you strength and, eventually, comfort and happy memories.

Take care

Inform the police Iluvmargie, do it for Bruno!

[Barsel]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry your beloved dog didn't pull through. I hope you will report it as others have suggested, it might just stop it from happening again. R.I.P Bruno. xx

What an appalling thing to happen. My best wishes to you ((Margie))

So very sorry for you loss. Glad your sister is with you for support.

Poor Bruno! Really feel for you x

Definitely report the dog that attacked him. It needs to be caught for the safety of other dogs and possibly children.

Just popped in to post on a crossword, but your reading your post really moved me. I am so sorry and wish there was more I could say to help.

Lie, tell the police it was snarling and barking at you and your dog protected you and was attacked.

[Toorak]

I’m so sorry to hear your heartbreaking news. Take care.

From the PDSA website:-

Report the incident. If your dog has been injured, you can report it to the police by calling 101 and report it to your local council's dog warden.

So desperately sorry. Words aren’t enough.

A devastating tragedy for you and your boy. My sincere sympathy.
It will be a long, long time before you can even think of being normal again.
Be gentle with yourself but give in to your grief.
Perhaps your sister could call 101 and report the incident.
