>>I was walking my chi on my road in my neighborhood and was turning around to

>>right for Maggie. I scooped her up and then my nightmare began. I was bitten
>>on the back/side( it was hanging there. And when I shook him off it bit my
>>arm that was wrapped around Maggie. I was screaming for help and the man did
>>nothing. I yelled my loudest and meanest when he was springing for my face.
>>He stopped for a second and I made my escape to a nieghbors house and rung
>>the bell sobbing and told them to call my husband to come get me. I went to
>>the hospital and animal control came and the deputy
sheriffs. The next day I talked to a neighbor about it and found out she had
the exact same scenero happen to her and her white cockapoo a week earlier only
it didn't bite her. She was lucky. I will never go without protection now. The
animal control and the sheriff said to carry and gun and use it. I would not be
in trouble if I did. The bottom line was that I was going to same my dog over
my own life. And I did save both of us, battered, bruised, torn,swollen and now
afraid of my own street.
