Talked with the neighbor this am. The little dog survived with many, many stitches. I had heard 20 at first but looks like she had almost 50 sutures to her rear legs and neck. She is still at the vets. No internal damage so a good thing. We found the Rottie owners who stepped up to the plate and gave us their info. They agreed to pay the vet bills. The son had a bad puncture wound to his leg but he is ok too. The Rottie owners said the dogs had been to dog parks and never reacted that way. They were shocked and upset. They are going to get the dogs into training. The owners of the little dog have no desire to press the issue. They realize they became complacent as none of the immediate neighbor dogs had an issue with their dogs. So, not the best if situations, but at least the dog will survive and the Rottie people did the right thing. I hope everyone learns from this. This is why I have a miimum of 2 gates my dogs would have to pass to get out in the street. I have no desire to have them be the aggressors or recipients of a dog fight. Anyway, I am happy the little dog will be ok. She is really sweet, unlike the long-coat Doxie they have. He is evil and would've been killed in a heartbeat.
