Attacked by a Pitbull

Hello my name is Liliana, I’m 35 years old.

I live in Miami with my beautiful mini Yorke.

After a long fight I lost my mom and my dad one after another first my dad then my mom in few months later. Both lost their life due to critical health conditions. My pochita (mini Yorkey) was born a day before my mom passed away and ever since having her she is my way of dealing with depression and anxiety, she is everything to me.

On march 11th 2024 while visiting my friends in West Palm Beach I took my Pochita on a walk, by passing 7/11 I decided to stop by and get something to drink as entering the plaza I noticed a lady sitting by the entrance to the 7/11 with her pitbul dog unattached to the leash. As we got closer her pitbull noticed my pochita and started running towards us, while running from its owner the owner kept on sitting and told me to pick up my dog so I did. Soon as I did the pitbul attacked me and bite off the back of my arm was digging out my skin tissue and muscle after he couldn’t get to her he pushed me off the ground and went to the other hand where he was digging my flesh out to the core of my bone I didn’t think twice to save the life of my little pochita.

At all times the owner of the dog didn’t try to control their dog and stood aside as the dog was brutally attacking me. After 2 stranger guys managed to take the dog off me she grabbed the dog and started running away.

The damaged caused by the dog required 2 surgeries and a week long hospitalization at the hospital, as a hard working women I had to pay the medical bills of my deceased parents and was waiting on March to come as it’s the busiest most profitable month for my occupation I’m left to deal alone with more medical bills with approximately 3+ months of physical therapy and healing.

I’m feeling exhausted from everything that has happened to me in the last year. I never ask for help but always help everyone else in times of need, life put me in the place where I can’t survive by myself anymore.

Please help restore my life!
