    Prayers for Marty *added graphic pic*

    Marty was attacked by one of the big dogs. We don't know which one for sure, but it's very nasty. His back is split open and he'll need stitches for sure! Keep the poor guy in your thoughts. I think it was Maggie but I think it was Dudley that triggered it. It's kind of hard to explain but either way. It may be best to rehome Dudley so that this won't happen again. Dudley will be happier and so will Maggie and Marty. I feel horrible, I wish I could have prevented it...

    His pic is down a ways, I didn't think everyone would want to see it.









    edit:
    Ok here's a pic of his back.

    Oh, poor Marty! That looks pretty nasty.

    It's not your fault, Meg! Don't blame yourself!!

    I'll keep you, Marty, Maggie and Dudley all in my prayers.. but especially Marty right now. Keep us updated.

    Marty has been at the vet since about 7:00 am now and he'll probably be there for two days. I hope everything goes alright.

    That is pretty bad, but, I'm sure he'll be fine, and, back to his old self in no time at all. My RB boy, Bruno, was ten when he was attacked by another, much larger dog, and, he made a full recovery. His injuries appeared to be worse than what Marty experienced, too, so, maybe that will help ease your mind. Dogs are resilient and I'm sure he's in good hands.

    The yorkie I had when I was a kid was attacked by the neighbor's dobie and he made a full recovery too. He had stitches and a drainage tube in his side, but he was back to normal in no time. I'm sure Marty will be feeling better soon.

    Poor baby. How is he doing today? Dont blame yourself, stuff like this happens when you own multiple dogs sometimes. Mine have gotten into it a couple of time its no fun when it happens.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    I wish I knew.. we're still waiting for a phone call from the vet.

    Anyways so I'm almost positive it was Dudley now. Dudley attacked our foster puppy, Lilo, this morning and my dad told me that he did late last night too. She's not hurt but it did scare the crap out of her.

    If Dudley is dog aggressive, it may be best to find him a home without dogs and him as the only pet. you wouldn't want this to happen again. I am not saying it's your fault. accidents happen and I hope he'll be okay. (((Marty))) I am wishing Dudley the best of luck.

    OMG, poor Marty Don't blame yourself, I know it must be hard to have multiple dogs, and sometimes there are things you can't just prevent.
    I will keep Marty and also Dudley in my thoughts.

    Yes we are getting rid of Dudley, my mom told me last night he's not staying here anymore.

    But the hard thing is, we kept Dudley because we couldn't find a home for him, he's just a foster without a home in other words. So, now that he's proven he's dog aggressive it'll probably be even harder... he can't go back to the HS. He proved already he doesn't do well there.
