Prayers Needed

[Pockets]

Just spoke with my brother, my sister in laws dog was savagely attacked today by 2 dogs, apparently the dogs got through the fence into the yard and attacked him. He is a beautiful fun loving boxer named Tyson

It was so bad they didn't think he was going to make it to the vet, he is in a very bad way and will most likely loose his front leg

I am so upset for her and her family, not a nice thing to happen at all

Oh how terrible

Healing thoughts being sent your way .

[tianakaesha]

Oh... how terrible. sending love and light to Tyson.... and to his family

I'm so, so sorry, Pockets. A horrible thing to happen to Tyson. He sounds like a perfect boxer....beautiful & fun loving. They're such loveable dogs.

It's so unfair that he was attacked in his own yard. I hope the owner/s of the 2 dogs can be traced & brought to justice.

Every warm thought is coming down to Tyson...& to your sister-in-law, too.

[Pockets]

Thanks Amstaff, this family has had a hard time with their family pets, a few years back prior to Getting Tyson they fought a long and hard battle to save their other boxer Arnie, who had tumors on the brain and organ failure, in the end they did the kindest thing and gave him his wings

Tyson is her parents baby, a very spoilt boy who is the absolute centre

of their day...I know they will go to any length and any expense to help their boy recover

[spottychick]

That's awful! So sick of irresponsible owners causing so much damage (and I mean the 2 strays owners of course). I hope he will be okay.

[Pockets]

Thanks guys

I know, a dog should feel safe and secure in their own yard, it makes me cry to think what he went through having 2 dogs come through the fence it's so wrong

the dogs I believe are the neighbours dogs, haven't spoken in regards to that yet though, main concern is Tyson's well being first

[Amstaffs4me]

Oh poor baby, make sure you let us know how Tyson goes Pockets.

One of my own dogs bears the scars of a dog attack, its so horrible to endure

[Pockets]

Edited to add, the came through the back fence into the backyard, they were the neighbours dogs

[W Sibs]

sending healing vibes over to Tyson and the rest of your family.

[Pockets]

[Pockets]

Thanks Kirty, we are all keeping him in our thoughts and prayers tonight

That just breaks your heart, when a happy dog is harmed in his own yard.

Sounds like tyson will be much loved in his recovery.

poor boy, and poor owners.

[altheau]

Oh no poor guy, sending out healing thoughts

[Her Majesty Dogmad]

Oh my God, poor boy. I hope to God these dogs are put down. What type of dogs are they? They must be strong to get through a fence like that. My prayers are with him for a full recovery, physically and pyschologically.

Last weekend I was doing a homecheck and the whole time I was there, a German Shepherd was pounding against the fence. The applicants had already had to replace the fence once, they were terrified that the GSD would come through and kill their poodle cross. The GSD had loosened a paling on the new fence and I alerted them to it. The neighbours do nothing to prevent this, the dog is never walked and is obviously aggressive. It was really worrying.

Oh Pockets, sending healing thoughts to Tyson

Hugs to his mum and dad xx

[Pockets]

I think that's what makes it that much worse, thinking you have your dog safe and secure in their own yard, it's one of those tragic circumstances that you would never consider happening

I don't want to under estimate a dog, but I don't know how he would go back in the yard, surely the memory would be traumatic poor boy

Am passing all your lovely comments and warm wishes on, they are very much appreciated and it's lovely to know so many people care

[Pockets]

Thanks Bensiva he has all his family with him at the vet tonight

luckily we live close to the Melbourne uni emergency clinic, they are brilliant
