(I'm not in the mood to proof read-don't mind the errors)
My guy came back from his bachelor party on Sunday and we decided to take our dog, Roca, for a walk around our condoplex. On our walk we stopped to talk to our neighbor who had their garage open and then some other neighbors were walking by and joined the chit chat. The neighbor w/the garage has a very aggressive dog, named Coco, that has attacked Roca once before. When Coco was a baby she was silly, super hyper and a bit of an annoyance to Roca but they got along. Coco would just around Roca like crazy and their were times were Roca would just try and walk away. Gradually Coco has become insane. Coco started getting more hyper aggressive and then both would do spurts of light growling at each other. The first time Coco attacked Roca she ran at Roca and we didn't realize she was out to kill so we didn't pick her up right away. Coco did a weird attack thing and while she was getting shoed away Big D swung her up by her leash to get her out of the line of Coco. I got Roca in my arms and would you believe that god damned dog jumped up and tried to attack Roca while she was being held?! Coco was out for blood! This attack was very scary but Roca got out of it with just a small amount of blood coming from her paws.
So back to Sunday. We're all talking and then Coco starts barking from the door in the back of their garage. That door was the one thing keeping Coco from Roca and then their daughter tried to slip out the door and I saw Coco's head trying to squeeze out the bottom of the door. I knew their daughter couldn't hold back Cujo so the second I saw her whole head under the door I pulled Roca up by her leash and grabbed her into my arms. Coco was so fast that at the same time that I got Roca into my arms Coco bit Roca and almost pulled her out of my arms. It was a complete nightmare. The second after Coco bit the second neighbor grabbed Coco by the collar and pulled her away. Roca was officially safe but I then had a melt down. You know when you're a kid and you start bawling and their is no exact thought w/it...that physical response you can't control? That's what happened. I couldn't believe what had just happened and I almost lost grip of her... We checked her for any blood and I was shocked to see nothing. I felt the pull and I felt her shake when it happened and right after it happened, and seeing no blood made no sense. Once the situation calmed down a bit I put Roca back on the ground and she just looked at me. We all kept talking and then I'd look down and see her staring at Big D. Roca does this when she wants to be held so I picked her up for a bit and then once again, put her down. I didn't want it to seem like I was overreacting since their was no blood. On the third time of me picked her up the neighbor saw that she had a large wound on her leg I was crushed....this whole time she was saying, "Mom? Dad? Anyone going to take care of me? Didn't you see what happened?"
We took her to the pet ER right away. They said they'd have to keep her until early morning since they were busy. She got staples in her once skinny leg that is very swollen (it's currently a bit more swollen than the below pic) and was sent him w/a satellite on her neck. I picked her up at 4:30am and ended up taking the satellite dish off of her around 11am. She was not having it, plus, how the hell was she suppose to drink or eat? She hasn't moved all day except for one bathroom trip where I carried her outside. OH and she got off the couch when her dad came home, which resulted in her hurting it a bit.
Roca will be ok. The neighbors put a note on the door that we saw when we got home from the pet ER. They feel incredibly bad and are willing to pay for the bill w/out me having to bug them about it. What will happen to Coco? Probably nothing. They try to keep Coco locked up but they have kids so their will be other times they she does get out. I hope this doesn't happen again to another dog. Not everyone knows how dangerous Coco is, so not everyone would know to quickly pick their small dog up if they see her running for them....
This is Roca about a month ago and it's not a staged photo
