Yeah, the thing that was so odd is how it just came out of nowhere, ya know? He didn't know what had hit him, it was so sudden. That was the thing that made me think that she needed to be muzzled, because it was completely unprovoked. She hardly slowed down to grab him up.Quote:

Wow, you really have a wonderful soul and a forgiving heart. I don't think I've ever met anybody like you. There should be more people in the world like you.
RIP Bruno. You had a lot of spunk.
Ha, I'm not that forgiving. ;) Believe me, I've held grudges before. Just not against animals. I just tried to think what it would be like if Bruno had just all of a sudden bitten another dog. I would want the owner of that dog to give him another chance, ya know? That's all I wanted to do. Just give them a chance to find out if maybe she just needed more training or something. They definitely realized she couldn't be trusted off leash, though, and, that may have saved another dog's life. And, honestly, if Bruno hadn't made it, I might not have felt the way I did.Quote:

Aww poor Bruno, he sounds like a real trooper! RIP.
I agree with Pittchick , thats great that u were so understanding of the other dog, by not having had him put to sleep like the others thought she should be. My neighbor had a similar situation, her doggie is a tiny 10 pounder, and a black lab from behing them, attacked him and almost killed him too.
:(
Those pictures are unbelievable!! What a strong little fighter he was!! These little dogs are such tough little cookies aren't they? This had to be the most harrowing experience ever. Bless you at the RB little man:)
Love, Terry, Daisy and Delilah:)
Yeah, you just never know when that stuff can happen. I hope never to be in a situation like that again. On either side! It was terrible.Quote:

Sometimes bigger dogs think little dogs are a stuffed animal. A couple of years ago, in the city next to where I live, there was a big dog that attacked a little dog and killed it. The big dog was a friendly dog but it just thought this tiny little dog was a toy. He picked up the tiny dog and shook it like a toy - breaking its back and killing it. So sad.
That's what Freesia did to Bruno. It is a scary thing to witness. I was so thankful that she didn't do skeletal damage.Quote:

Your story makes me happy and sad. Happy that you are such an understanding person and were able to forgive the doggie that did the attacking. Sad of course for you and Bruno going through the whole experience and sad that Bruno is no longer with you. He was a strong, handsome guy.
I'm glad you see that in Bruno, he was a great dog. With a huge heart and a good soul. I have so many cute videos of him, I wish I could share some in here! I have no idea how to transfer vhs images to the computer...I wonder if there's a way....Quote:
