Lady is recovering and is home now

Lady is recovering. She is walking better so the vet decided not to do the MRI which means the vet bill is a lot less now.Lady is home with Rachel but will not be able to work for a while. She needs a lot of rest in a quiet environment. Still,animal control has done nothing and the pit bull is still running around the complex with no leash.I can't seem to get a person on the phone at animal control, and I as well as Rachel have left messages but no one has called back. I tried to talk with the manager of the apartment complex where Rachel lives to no avail. I have called the Mayor's office but have heard nothing back from them.Rachel called the TV media but even they have not called her back. Does no one care that the eyes of this totally  blind woman has been injured and may not be able to continue to work as a guide dog? This was preventable, but no one cared enough to do any thing about the pit bull who's owners just let it run loose with out a leash to attack Lady. Is any one going to do some thing if a child is attacked next? What is wrong with this city? I am so disgusted with Tucson. Any way Rachel wanted to thank all who donated to Lady's care. The bill is payed in full for now. Hopefully, Lady will continue to recover with out any more set backs.            to be continued..........................

Lady was attacked by a pitbull !

On Thursday late after noon Rachel called me in tears and told me that Lady was attacked by a pit bull and she was taking her to the emergency vet.This incident could have been prevented .Rachel had made several calls to animal control  with no response. She had also complained to the manager of her apartment complex that this dog was constantly running loose with no leash and the people who owned the dog just laughed at her when she spoke to them.Even after the attack took place and the police had been called, they did not talk to her after they talked to the owners of the pit bull.Does no one care? In my opinion,neither animal control, or the manager did their jobs! I fee that the police should at least talked to Rachel. I feel that they were very insensitive to her.What is Tucson becoming? Does no one care when a blind person has their dog disabled by a pit bull and their irresponsible owners? No one did any thing when my Shaman was attacked either.This has to stop!!!!!!!!! This poor dog is severely injured with neurological symptoms as well as bite wounds.Lady may have to be retired if she survives these injuries.Rachel is totally blind and relies on Lady to get her around. I am very upset about this also as I trained this dog for Rachel. Lady is such a sweet loving dog and an excellent guide dog.This should not have happened  and could have been prevented if animal control had done their job and cited the owners of the pit bull for violating the leash law.It seems that even though we have laws to protect our service dogs,no one feels inclined to enforce these laws.I am so disgusted with this city.  to be continued..................the pictures are of lady and Rachel and Nici and me working our dogs and Rachel and Lady with her husband Jeremy and his dog Bella
