Wow im sorry for your loss, I am a big animal lover and really love all animals. I know how people become so attached to them. Growing up we owned 2 pittbulls , my dad's buddy was a marine who bred the dogs off base and in TX. Both dogs were UKC dogs .
I was around 11 or 12 I was at a baseball field throwing a ball for my male and female pitt and they ended up fighting over the ball. I figured it was just a small little fight and it would just stop like it has done before. Still to this day I do not know what happened? They were raised both in a loving family from 9 weeks old . They both use to sleep with me and they were just all around great dogs. They ended up fighting for 3 hours , at the time I Was just too small to break them up. They both had walking harness on and I was between them trying to pull them apart , I just was not able to do it. I remember my mom having to leave because she was crying , I just sat 20 feet away in the grass crying watching them fight. The MP's ended up coming and there was blood all over the outfield the female dog was dead, had broken front legs, throat was covered in slashes. After the fight the male was standing over her and licking her wounds, he was never aggressive but this time he was very pissed at something. The mp could not even come in the baseball diamond to try and get the female dog. The male would only let me in and all he did was keep licking me like nothing ever happened. Still to this day I think about them and what I could of done different. I had a real hard time with the loss of them, I really cared for these dogs a lot. I hope you are able to move on and remember animals are animals and sometimes we just do not understand why they do the things they do. I hope in time you can move on and get another puppy. You do need to get the law involved , because you missed work to come home for someones mistakes. Good luck to you.
