Justice for Charlie: Support Alex's Fight

My name is Alex. I’m writing this because I am absolutely broken into pieces, and I need some help.

Today, 8/1/24, I came home, greeted my sweet baby dog, Charlie, a beautiful miniature dachshund. My weenie. I took her outside and

coming back in, there was an unrestrained pitbull who rushed Charlie.

I did everything I could to save her. I did everything I could to cover her while the pitbull continued to lock his jaws into her. I screamed for help and nobody came for several minutes.

A neighbor heard me screaming and came to help, pulling the dog off of me and Charlie.

I rushed Charlie to the pet hospital and they gave me the news that the pitbull had torn her apart so badly, that even life-saving measures would be unlikely to save her.

I had to hold my baby, my pride and joy, my child, while she was euthanized far before her time.

I am seeking medical attention for my bites, and police and animal control are involved.

However, I want to pursue civil charges in this situation as well. I am looking for help to not only cover the expenses for Charlie and myself, but to obtain an attorney.

I am absolutely in pieces. I didn’t wake up knowing that my best friend would be taken from me today. I’m never going to be the same after this, as I am absolutely traumatized.

Those of you who know me, know how much my baby meant to me. And I just lost my other pup last month. I am honestly distraught, and I am desperate to be able to pursue things civilly.

I do NOT want to imply that I am demonizing the breed. I know it was the responsibility of the owners. This is why I want legal action to take place. Not only am I heartbroken, but things like this make good owners look bad.

Anything helps, even a share.

I know this won’t bring my baby back, but it’ll help Justice be served.
