photos of RB Bruno, graphic (post-attack)

[finn's mom]

Bruno, my RB dog, was attacked by our upstairs neighbor's pit bull when we were living in Alexandria, Virginia. I thought Freesia was a great dog, but, after the attack, a lot of my neighbors felt she should be euthanized. But, during the attack on Bruno, I had physically harmed Freesia (the pit bull) in order to get her to drop Bruno. She did, after much punching on my part, and, cringed at me as Bruno ran away. I felt that if she was truly a vicious dog, she'd have turned on me. It was unfortunate that she chose Bruno, who weighed only 19 pounds and was 10 years old at the time, to be her chew toy. It was 100% completely unprovoked, as Bruno was just sitting in the grass, and, was one of the worst experiences of my life. I did tell the owners, though, that Freesia had to be muzzled any time their door was opened. They quickly agreed, because they knew what the alternative was. We only lived in Virginia for a couple more months, although we didn't move because of the attack. Anyway, so, here are the photos. And, again, I'm posting these more for myself than anyone else. And, it's still amazing to me how quickly he healed! He was so strong, it was unbelievable how much heart he showed. My little baby boy.

There are drainage tubes under his skin. The neighbor kids were so concerned, they said "oh, my gosh. they could have at least taken the other dog's teeth out." It was so funny. He was attacked on August 27, and, these were taken on the 29th.

I love this one, he still loved me. Even through all that pain.
