My name is Donna I have a dog named Candy she's Chihuahua / Terrier she's 5 years old. I have had her from birth. She's a very sweet and funny dog . I work at a church for a nonprofit organization. Going thru donations its called A helping hand in Marina. Ok Candy and i have been in the room all morning so I decided to take a break, we are at the back off the church there's a walk away between the the buildings I was going to the main church to talk to the Michelle. Candy does not runaway ever she walks beside me. She stopped to pee and smell stuff I was standing right beside her, when a pit bull came charging around the corner going right after my dog I could not pick her up in time the pit grabbed Candy by her ear and face the pit tried to run away with her I jump on the dog stopped it from running way with her. She had a leash on but no one holding it. She's swung Candy up and down hitting the ground with her Candy was bleeding from her ears and mouth. I screamed for help I tried so hard to get that dog to let Candy go. Then my daughter came and pushed the dog so hard off of me and Candy and she threw Candy to me I could not stand up I'm 65 years old . I saw the pit coming back at this point I thought Candy was dead. I did not want that dog tearing her up anymore so I put Candy under my body the pit came by me trying to get her again my arm was blocking the pit. So it bit my arm and pulled it out of the way this happen 7 times the 8th time my arm would not move and the pit grab Candy again this time by candys back and stomach. A lady from the church came out and saw this and twisted the pits tail it dropped Candy and went for this 65 year old lady my daughter grab the pit and was bitten. There were a lot of people stopping in cars to help. It took 5 men to hold that pit down .I took her Candy to the vet. One tooth went to her spine and one to her belly they don't know what it damaged. She needs surgery. But I have to have the money first I need help Candy needs help Her eye is infected and her ear is leaking. and her leg is not moving. The bill was 403.00 right after it happened.
