The victim of a brutal dog attack is released from the hospital after her first reconstructive surgery. It was the worst day of the Sharbuno's lives. Their dog, which they've only had for three weeks, mauled Dawn Sharbuno in the face. The Sharbuno's want everyone to know they are animal lovers. But now they only want to see the day their vicious dog is put down. They would also like to see the day the Dawn can look at herself in the mirror without crying.
Dawn was released from the hospital Saturday night, after Roscoe's attack pulled the skin off her face like a mask. Dawn's other dog Venus, who she calls a hero, attacked Roscoe until he finally let her go. Recently laid off, Dawn and her husband are struggling financially and emotionally to keep it together.
Dawn made it through one of four 8 hour reconstructive surgeries, and is now scared by her own reflection she saw for the first time on Saturday. The Sharbuno's say they believe the humane society is doing good work, but needs to examine stray animals closer for abuse and violence. Later Saturday night, Dawn got a fever and was sent back to the hospital for more surgery and anti-infection treatment.
