The other day my poor three legged dog was viciously attacked by a bigger four legged dog. My dog Schroder has been attacked twice by this brutal dog. My sister was freaking out about it because my dog was hurt really bad and bleeding. She thought that my dog was going to die. My mom calmed her down by saying that she was not going to die, and that she would take care of Schroder. My mom said that the dog was going to be alright, and she thought that Schroder had just a few minor cuts. The reality is that she was bleeding really badly and she had to be taken to the vet the next day. Although my parents were really upset that the dog had been let out without being watched, they approached the situation with a lot of maturity. They were very rational in how they approached the situation. It was good that they were mature in the way that they behaved because they learned that the dog that attacked Schroder had been rescued from an abusive situation. The reason that the dog had been taken outside was because it was not getting along with the other animals. The owners took the dog on a walk outside and the dog got away from the owners and ran to our house. The dog was very violent with my dog, but I heroically rescued my dog from harm by kicking the other dog and choking it with its collar. My dog is going to be alright, but she is on antibiotics and wants to stay inside most of the time. The way that my parents handled the situation was key in keeping a good relationship with one of our two neighbors. Now since we approached the maturely and rationally we know when the dog will be taken outside on walks so that we can bring our dog inside. I am glad to inform you that Schroder is going to be alright.
