<div>Recently, a woman was walking her dog (appears to be a bull terrier) near my home. Her dog appeared too strong and pulled her across the street toward my fence, where my small chihuahua was behind my tall, solid privacy fence. My small dog's 1-inch snout reached under to smell who was walking by. <strong>My dog was then assaulted, shattering the entire top palate of her mouth, partially removing her tongue, losing 5 teeth, shattering both bones around her eye, and causing her to lose vision in her left eye due to a trauma ulcer.</strong> She needed a feeding tube through her neck to eat, as well as tubes in her nose/snout to keep it open so she could breathe. She has completed one surgery to sew her mouth back together and has had multiple days of an ER stay, including fluids and oxygen. <strong>She still needs one additional surgery to close the last remaining hole in the top of her mouth.</strong> This has been extremely traumatizing for my family, and especially my 5-year-old daughter, who considers Lucy her best friend. <strong>The cost has been substantial as well, costing over $14,000, and we are still not done.</strong> She has a second surgery coming up in August after she heals from her first. Police are actively looking for her as well. Thank you to those who have reached out to help search the neighborhood and to those who are donating. Our family is beyond grateful for the support.
