Support Brandy Ward's Recovery After Dog Attack

Dear friends,

I share this story with you in hopes of compassion and generosity to help a dear friend named Brandy Ward. She has been my hair stylist for the last 15 years and recently suffered a brutal attack by her dog.

Brandy has fostered many dogs over the years and ended up rescuing one from the pound two years ago to try and rehabilitate it. She worked every day with the dog and spent several grand in training. The dog’s behavior did improve tremendously.

However, almost a month ago, Brandy and her boyfriend adopted a new puppy into their home, and unfortunately, a territorial fight occurred between the two dogs over a toy. Brandy’s motherly instincts kicked in, and she felt she had no choice but to jump in and save the puppy. When she did, the dog began attacking her, and thankfully, her boyfriend was home and jumped in to save Brandy. After he jumped in, he yelled at her to get his gun, and she had no choice but to shoot her dog to save them.

Her boyfriend suffers from a broken arm with all of his tendons severed. Brandy suffers from severed tear ducts and eyelids, a fractured femur, and debridement of the knee joint, which leaves her non-weight-bearing. Thankfully, the puppy survived the attack and is doing well.

The floor renovations in her home after the attack left her with a $18,000 bill, plus the medical bills that continue to accrue while she is out of work.

Any donations are very much appreciated during this time of healing. Thank you for taking the time to read her story.
