First off my condolences for all that has happened and all involved... Congratulations to your son for his bravery.
Now... How and the heck did that pup get to another dog during quarantine?! Here at our shelter any dog that has attacked someone or another dog is located in an escape free area. (That depends on the dog. If the pound is overflowing sometimes larger non-jumping attackers are put in the main room. Which i think is irresponsible because some kid could run up to that dog's pen.)
And they NEVER put dogs in the same pen. Even if they were released together and get along. (Which i think is another stupid policy. If the dogs know each other and are well behaved they should be allowed to stay together.) I can see not putting strange dogs together though.

I will be taking a walk over to them in the morning.
He said she is responsive but rather subdued for her. Her panels came back fine and everything else is to expectations. He expects she will pull out of this fine, if not a bit worse for the wear. AC contacted him today to check on her condition, seems that the little girl that did this attacked another dog while in custody. She has to be quarantined for 10 days, so I guess Goofy was luckier than the dog today. AC put that one to sleep. RIP shelter dog.
No I dont know what type the other dog was, Goof is only 18 pounds of cocker , she is a bitty cocker. Not certain what breed/s the other dog was. I didn't think to ask.
This is a nightmare.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
