Letter To Shelter About Attack(See Entry Below)

Dear HAWS,

I know you probably couldn't do anything about this but I was
wondering who to contact for a dog attack? I was on my home from
walking my dog ON leash and the other guys dog came upto her(this dog
seemed real friendly at first) I was trying to pull my dog towards our
house(we weren't even to houses away) my dog realizes I'm walking
away(I still had her on leash) so she starts to walk away when the
other dog lunges at her and it actually had her in his mouth and
dragged her a few inches(didn't get far because of the leash) my dog
was pinned to the ground and the other dog still had it's mouth on
her. Finally the other owner managed to pull his dog off of my dog. I
checked her out quick before we got back to the house and she was able
to walk and no signs of any bleeding but when I got back and got a
good look to make sure she was ok I noticed a small cut no bigger than
a dime on her belly. My dog did NOT fight back at all. The owner of
the other dog also had him on a leash. My dog is Shih-Tzu/Jack Russel
mix so she only weighs maybe 20lbs tops but the other dog was a Pit
Bull so if we didn't break them up when we did my dog would've been a
goner.Like I said both dogs were leashed and it was on their
apartments property. The owner was very nice and came back out after
taking his dog inside to make sure mine was ok. I still like Pit Bulls
but now I'm probably going be a little leary bringing my dog around
them for awhile.
