Today my neighbor's baby mini poodle was attacked by a pit 
I was about to cut my dad's hair in our courtyard when I heard the most horrendous sounds ever. I thought a dog or child was hit by a car. I ran out to investigate. I found my neighbor friend with her two mini poodles standing in front of my next door neighbor's house, and her hands were covered in blood. A young woman was yelling at her to get off of her property, while she and another young woman were immediately putting a Chi mix and pit back in the house.
My friend was simply walking her two dogs on leash on the street and the pit and Chi charged and the pit attacked her 4 mo. old puppy. The puppy was making some weird motions with his mouth and was out of it. I said we needed to get to a vet right away. I called the ER vet and told them we were on the way. The puppy was making crackling sounds like the lungs had collapsed, and his gums were gray. They took him in calmly, but rapidly, and got him properly assessed.
His lungs were completely punctured and full of contusions. Thank God he has no broken bones or major cuts on his body. The vet thinks his prognosis is excellent. He is in an oxygen chamber and getting fluids and other supportive care for a few days.
Please pray or send positive thoughts for him! He is literally the most adorable and sweet apricot mini poodle I've ever seen. His name is Jerry.
His vet bills are estimated between $4,500 and $6,600. Quite a liability for the owner of the pit.
