That's so horrible, fingers crossed for a full recovery! It's absolutely unbelievable that the dog wasn't muzzled or under better control. You'd think that if the dog was capable of a seemingly unprovoked attack the owners would be aware of a behavioural issue and would hope that they'd act accordingly.
Edit: sorry, that was directed at @allshookup

Awful, hope yours comes through OK.
I've been reading about so many attacks by pit bull type dogs recently, apparently there's been a big increase in "American Staffy" imports which are basically pit bulls with a different name. Someone's mini poodle got killed in East London a couple of days ago too. I'm turning hyper aware for for my little one because I don't think she even knows how to defend herself and there's some real shady people around my area.
One thing that really pissed me off the other day, I was throwing a tennis ball for mine, not very far cos she's lazy, and someone starts calling to me from a distance away. I ignored it at first because I didn't realise it was to me but when I turned around it was a middle aged frail looking woman with a massive staffy, must have been crossed with something else, that was pulling her along. We made eye contact and she just gestured to her dog and that was enough for me to know that I don't want mine anywhere near hers. It's such a bullshit situation that people can be walking around with dogs so dangerous they need to warn others of their approach and even more bullshit that if you know yours is like that to then walk it around without at least a muzzle.
