Sorry to hear of your experience, such a shame that an irresponsible owner is giving this breed a bad name once again - nurture not nature in my experience.
I hope she makes a speedy recovery and that insurance can sort out all the associated costs; I wouldn't give too much thought to the dog & owner unless you need to recoup some costs (maybe small claims court? No idea), I would focus on helping your dog heal up and finding some friendly dogs to socialise with once she is strong enough

Our wee 9th month older border was attacked by a pitbull on Saturday lunchtime on Powrscroft road, e5. Pretty horrific: Unleashed Pitbull bolted across the road and sunk its teeth in before I could get her off the ground. It took four people and about 5 minutes to get the thing off. Thankfully no internal damage (though the vet said it a couple of millimetres at most from piercing the abdomen). Happy to say the vets she's making a good recovery and will hopefully be home the week. The attacking dog (which it turns out has form) was quickly identified (by a neighbours) and seized by the police, which is a huge relief.
Not heard from the police since. Anyone have any experience of a similar situation or able offer advice? Thanks.
