Our dog was attacked 3 weeks ago in Millfields and has bounced back really well. He’s got a pretty big scar from surgery as he had external & internal stitches but apart from that his behaviour seems unchanged and to be honest he didn’t seem bothered with the injury or even walking around with an open hole in his neck! We got him socialising again as quickly as it was safe to do so and he was initially a bit nervy when being approached from the side but seems all good now. Aggression towards other dogs was our biggest worry as he’s a strong lad (half staff) and might have been shaken up a bit but no sign of it

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.
