Born March 7, 2006     -     Died September 22, 2017

Lindys' Medical was $8,325 and mine was $2,950.
Pitbull owner has no money and no insurance.
Need to bring charges against the City and Animal Control.  COuld use a little help from my friends.

Lindy liked to go for a short walk after dinner and we took our walk two blocks from the house at 8:20pm of September 20, 2017. Lindy on his leash and walking slowly with us when all of a sudden, a 110-pound Pitbull dog came running out of an open garage across the street and attacked Lindy. He hit our dog so hard it pulled him right out of his collar, still attached to the leash. When I tried to push him away he bit me on the hands many times. I kept trying to get him away and he was very strong and aggressive and kept tearing at Lindy.

Kelly was screaming and luckily for us the neighbors all came out and two big men finally got the Pitbull away from us. I called 911 and the Sherriff, Animal control and the paramedics all came. My dog totally in shock and pressed up against me while the paramedics helped my wounds. Kelly ran to get the car and we put Lindy in the back and she had to drive 45 minutes away for the Vet closest hospital. All the way lindy was coughing up blood from his neck and did not move an inch while still wondering what just happened to him.
On Friday September 22 at 11:30AM Kelly and I went to the hospital to try and give him hope and let him know we are here. We opened the small round window and let him smell our hands. We stayed about 20 minutes and it was hard to leave him. Everyone who knows Lindy knows he is always next to Kelly or me within reach. He was no match for that dog who we found out has had no shots, no license, no chip and no collar or leash. The gate to the back yard had been broken for years and the owners only put a barrel next to it.

Animal control was called three time that night to report the Pitbull running loose by the neighbors up to 45 minutes before we arrived. They refused to come and pick up the dog.
This is what our Lindy liked...a car ride.
We wanted the best for Lindy and Dr. Patty Wade at All Paws was seen every six months for heart worm pills and check. Lindy would walk straight to the scale and then lie down in the waiting room for the doctor, never flinching while she checked him. Lindy was loved where ever he went and gave love back three-times. 

He received most of his toys in 2008 and never destroyed them, although he did try to eat a tennis ball. From that year on he would exercise his jaw on the tennis ball and when it would deflate we would throw it away and give him a new one. He always had two to play with and they would last years.
Lindys’ understanding of the English language was unbelievable and he would obey our commands easily. You could start a sentence and he knew what was coming. Kelly would say: “Lindy do you want to” and lindy knew that meant he was going to walk or ride somewhere. He would get so excited jumping and wagging his tail until you went. Lindy would bark at the UPS and FED EX trucks driving by and other dogs, but rarely barked in the house for no reason.

Lindy loved the water and his bath and swiming.
I sort-of retired in 2014 and wanted something more to do. I started working on a new business idea and found a market in California. Still looking for investors we sold the house in Florida and on July 2017 Lindy and I jumped into the big truck and moved the car and house to San Jacinto, California. On the way, we would stop at parks and he would run and jump and stretch his legs.

I’m only asking for help as Lindys medical was over $8,300 and so far, my doctor bills are $2,500

I could use some financial help for legal fees to try and get recoup money for our medical bills and damages from animal control, who failed to respond to the many phone calls that night before the incident.  The owners of the Pitbull are renters and have no money.

Lindy was cremated on Monday the 25th and his ashes placed in the Pacific Ocean where he can swim all he likes.

Kelly and I thank you for any help you can give, as the County, CIty and the Pitbull owners are all at fault.
