Asking for prayer for my parents sweet Goldendoodle Shatzie...
My precious Daddy was walking her late Wednesday night, when they were attacked by a Pit Bull...
Dad ran to the nearest door to their facility (they live in a retirement community in Southern Indiana) to escape the attack, and was knocked to the floor inside of the door and unable to get up.
Mom heard Shatzie crying and called 911, as she was unable to get down to Dad and Shatzie...
Long story short the police came to help Mom, Dad was finally able to get up when the dog's owner came to where he was, and I made my way over to Indiana to help them get her to the vet...
Thought she would be there overnight, and then until Sat, but now looks like another week. She is in severe pain and was chewed up pretty badly, had to undergo surgery and get drains installed for the bleeding for the puncture wounds and tears, and may lose her hearing due to the attack...
She is Mom's service dog, as Mom deals with falling a lot, so this may affect that relationship...
Dad is pretty traumatized and I worry for him too with his Alzheimer's, as he keeps repeating how he feels awful he couldn't get up to help his pup...
Just pretty sad for sure. She is such a sweet pup and means so much to them.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers!
Denise Newsome - Cant imagine what your sweet Dad is going thru. Hope you have access to someone to help council him. Prayers for your Mom and Shatzie, no words for the pain and senseless loss. Prayers for Shatzies recovery and for you and what you must be going thru. God bless you and keep you strong.
Isla Auten - Healing thoughts for your dad, mom, and the dog. Since the owner of the dog is known there should be charges brought and a law suit for costs incurred for humans and Shatzie. If there are no consequences these attacks will never cease
April Cameron - I'm so sorry!!! I'll keep them all in my prayers, I hope everyone feels better soon specially Shatzie, that poor dog had major trauma and injury!! I remember when I was attacked by a bull mastiff terrifying, but praise God He helped me thru it! Love, hugs and prayers!!🙏
Robyn Guinn Fischer - I am so sorry to hear about this incident. I know it had to be horrifying for all involved. Prayers for healing. 🙏🏻🐾🐾💔
Jennie Conway - Sending prayers for your precious dog. And also praying that your mom and dad are able to cope with this horrible experience. They are not alone in this attack. Pit bulls are the number one canine killer of other pets and people. Shatzie is lucky to have survived. File a police report, and hold the owners responsible for the bills. When someone chooses to own a fighting breed, it must be controlled. If not the owners must be held accountable. It could be a child attacked next time. Dangerous dogs that attack should be euthanized. I'm so sorry this happened to your family.
