The poor man. Prayers.
Here in Boca Raton, last December, my 35 lb. Cocker Spaniel was attacked by a 120 lb. Cane Corso. I was standing right there, and grabbed the Cane Corso by the collar and pounded on its ribs attempting to get it to break off the attack. It didn’t even notice I was there. Fortunately, with the help of neighbors my dog was extracted from the jaws of this vicious animal. $3.5K in vet bills later, my dog is now fully recovered. I am suing the owner (who had 6 citations against the 2 Cane Corso/Italian Mastiffs in her nearby home.) When I collect on the judgment - about 1/3rd will go for a compact sidearm and a concealed carry permit.
The recklessness and indifference of some dog owners is breathtaking. No sense of responsibility whatsoever.
