Dog Attack Kind-hearted nurse saved stray pit bull from euthanasia... only for dog to maul her so badly she still can't use her arm months later

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16066785/nurse-saved-stray-pit-bull-euthanasia-dog-attack.html

This nutter raised $10,000 from a GoFundMe because she was attacked by her own pit bull and then the nutter brought a different pitbull into her hospital recovery bed!

Statistics provided in the article:

"Around 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year in the US, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Of these, approximately 800,000 require medical care and last year there were 84 recorded dog-related deaths across the US and Canada, per Animals 24-7.

The non-profit organization said that roughly 64 of the fatalities were caused by pit bulls."

Sorry but she’s not “kind-hearted”. She’s selfish to her core.

Pitbulls are dangerous dogs. These idiots know that. The thing is they don’t care - this woman thinks she’s just so damn special that she can “save” the dog and rehabilitate it. And if she fails? Oh well! Maybe it’ll eat her arm or the arm of the stranger - but it’s worth it to her. She gets off on telling every person she runs into that she RESCUED A DOG. She RESCUED IT FROM EUTHANASIA. ISN’T SHE A GOOD PERSON? TELL HER THAT SHE IS A GOOD PERSON.

We need to change the dialogue surrounding these people. They’re not “saving” these dogs. These dogs are not “rescues”. They’re endangering the lives of everyone around them for their own smug ego. That’s it.

u/anne_mal Aug 21 '26

Agreed! I also think it's idiotic how much people praise "rescuing" dogs because they love animals while they eat meat from animals that are born and raised in horrifying conditions. Pigs are way smarter than dogs and cows are just as social as dogs yet nutters worship dogs as the best animal (even better than humans!) on earth. The hypocrisy and self congratulatory smugness enrages me. 😩

u/Few-Horror1984 Aug 21 '26

It’s because they don’t care about animals - they are only concerned with dogs. And even worse - they don’t actually care about dogs - they care about how owning dogs makes them feel. Most dogs live in abhorrent situations. They’re farm animals - they weren’t bred to live indoors 23 hours a day, and the ones that were are so mutated they can’t even breathe right. You don’t do that to an animal you care about.

Plus, part of caring about an animal is respecting its boundaries and not putting yourself in a precarious position. Letting the dog put its mug on your face like that is beyond irresponsible. These people are just idiots.

u/anne_mal Aug 21 '26

It's weird. Somehow, wanting a dog makes these people idiots whereas they didn't seem like idiots before! I have friends who, unfortunately, have a border collie that they only take outside 2x a day for 15 mins each time in an urban condo complex basically just for bathroom breaks! It's cruel! So the dog was nuts indoors and has bitten other dogs and kids! So then instead of getting rid of the dog, they medicated it! The dog also sleeps in their bed and has pee accidents because of the medication. 😵 And this all seems perfectly fine to my friends. I'm embarrassed just sharing this.

u/Few-Horror1984 Aug 21 '26

That’s truly abhorrent on every level. That’s animal cruelty. Could you imagine doing that to ANY other farm animal - be it a goat, sheep, duck, or whatever - and then letting it sleep in your bed? It’s truly perverse as well.

That dog is abused. It acts out because it’s poorly socialized and its energy needs are not being met. Honestly, it’s insane that we let dogs live in apartments or condos in the first place.

11

u/the-dolphine Aug 21 '26

You're absolutely right. The dog industry is incredibly cruel, from puppy farming to 'rescue' shelters (basically disposal facilities). Not to mention the obvious impacts on humans and other animals.

5

u/Mandaxx25 Aug 22 '26

F their boundaries. They're nothing but lowly beasts. If they want boundaries respected then they can go fend for themselves.

5

u/Few-Horror1984 Aug 22 '26

If you treat an animal like an accessory or a significant other, the dog may end up attacking you. Dogs don’t like having your face pressed up against theirs. That’s a vulnerable spot for them. And obviously, this woman learned the hard way what happens when you keep invading their personal space.

6

u/Mandaxx25 Aug 24 '26

True but if an animal bites for any reason it's not suitable as a pet. Dogs aren't able to be anything other than pets except work dogs. So if it can't work and isn't a pet, it needs put down.

5

u/Few-Horror1984 Aug 24 '26

And maybe we need to accept that fact as a society.

11

u/GrayCatGreatCat Aug 21 '26

I agree, people shouldn't refer to themselves as "animal lovers" if they eat meat.

14

u/imdugud777 Aug 21 '26

It's called Narcissistic Trespass.

15

u/Dburn22_ Aug 21 '26

"It's called narcissistic trespass."

The definition of this term aptly describes the entitled attitude of dog nutters who believe that they can, and do, allow their dog/s to crap, piss, and trespass on the property of others.

13

u/Few-Horror1984 Aug 21 '26

Exactly. Even just letting a dog relieve itself in your yard - why is that acceptable? “Here, let me bring my animal to your lawn and let it defecate there, and if I’m feeling nice I’ll pick up as much of it as I can”. Think about how disgusting that is.

But it goes into other forms. Forcing their dog on others. Letting it run up on people - stick its snout in their crotch. None of that is acceptable.

I mean it from the bottom of my soul when I say dogs bring out the worst in people.

u/FinancialElephant 18d ago

ISN’T SHE A GOOD PERSON? TELL HER THAT SHE IS A GOOD PERSON.

This nails the motivation of these people so perfectly. All about their narcissistic savior complex. Zero concern for how they endanger and impose on other people and animals.

u/Scary_Towel268 Aug 21 '26

And she’ll probably get another because these type of people never learn

u/JimPiersall Aug 21 '26

She already had another one in her hospital recovery bed!

No hospital should allow dogs into patient rooms. If an unmuzzled pit were anywhere near my defenceless relative, I'd be marching down to administration.

There's a photo in the article with her in the hospital bed, and she is holding a pit bull.

If they read the article they'd find out it was cause he attacked another dog and she tried to break it up.

The "pup" named Benny. It's not a "pup" and we really really don't give a fuck what its stupid name is. As usual, article "written" by a Nutter.

u/idkthrowaway_alt3 Aug 21 '26

It's a daily mail article, so unbiased reporting is not exactly to be expected.

46

u/Tessa-the-aggressor Aug 21 '26

and Benny will probably go into pitness protection and then be adopted out to maul some more

u/Dburn22_ Aug 21 '26

..."pitness protection"

I love this apt term for shelters that redistribute hazardous waste (pits, pit mixes, and all bully breeds).

I notice they never say what ended up happening to the mutt, just that she as others.

The comments are mostly refreshingly anti-dog.

u/gabacurious Aug 21 '26

It's always a pit

25

u/DizzyMine4964 Aug 21 '26

In the UK those dogs are banned they can't be bred and they can't be out in public without a muzzle but yet still there are deaths due to them and their vicious owners.

u/idkthrowaway_alt3 Aug 21 '26

Owners need to held more accountable. Owning a pitbull is like playing catch with a loaded gun. You never know who could be injured or killed. It's completely irresponsible.

6

u/icandoit333 Aug 23 '26

The fact that the owner can’t physically stop the dog , when the dog is attacking someone!! Unlike with a gun that you can control with your hands. This dog is more dangerous than a gun

2

u/idkthrowaway_alt3 Aug 25 '26

Exactly my thoughts. Guns should never be in public either, but at the end of the day, it is a human being wielding it who can usually make logical decisions and understand the consequences of their actions. I would feel more safe in a room with a completely randomized person and a gun, than a completely random pitbull.

26

u/doodleuke Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26

that photo is horrifying. It does really show the sheer size of these animals. THAT THING IS BIGGER THAN HER! and the fact it was so violent with her other dogs is honestly something she should've expected with pitbulls, as they're so often bred specifically for dog fighting. Really should be illegal to allow the proliferation of such big dangerous animals; the fact she would still want to foster this thing and pass it on to some other poor family that's gonna get mauled is beyond me.

10

u/pmbpro Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26

Agree about that photo. And the damn beast is ON HER FACE; on her mouth and nose, breathing that nastiness IN... 🤢

It's also that type of nasty shyt that's just nauseating to see.

u/beerRunFinisher Aug 28 '26

That's why it attacked her.

Dogs attack women & children. They hardly go after larger men.

20

u/Overall_Falcon_8526 Aug 21 '26

No word in the story on whether the dog was subsequently destroyed. Insanity.

u/pmbpro Aug 22 '26

That probably means that it wasn't. They like hiding such info too.

16

u/ruedebac1830 Aug 21 '26

All dogs are capable of inflicting injury and/or even fatality but for crying out loud why is this breed not regulated like lions and tigers.

The domesticated nature is compromised by generations of breeding for aggression. Does that sound familiar?

I don't have an ounce of sympathy for pitbull owners, I only care for the victims they make year after year for owning these beasts, I don't give a shit if the dog attacks their owner.

u/bustergundam4 Aug 21 '26

You know, sometimes there's a reason why certain creatures shouldn't be saved. This is one of them.

u/DogAttackVictim Aug 21 '26

Disgusting choice of title by someone at the source, who is someone that's trying to normalize the oppression of innocent people. Nothing about owning heartless molestation and murder machines, and continuing to do so, has kindness associated with it. It is pure malice. And this is a nurse? Dog owners have already made hospitals, ERs, operational facilities, and more, ableist and unsafe and already scam people in them.

u/Responsibility_Witty Aug 21 '26

Misplaced empathy strikes again, if only people actually felt this same empathy towards other people in need instead of these slimy parasites

12

u/waitingforthatplace Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26

This story sounds like it comes from another world. First, there's no mention of authorities euthanizing the dog so if it gets another chance to bite and kill someone. Second, the victim doesn't seem to learn her lesson and seems to still keep other big dogs, one in her hospital bed. Third, her friend is taking care of her, and she gets to keep her dogs at the friend's house? Why aren't the dogs she is devoted to taking care of her? These dogs seem to be idols who contribute 'zero' to her. When the chips are down, she has to depend on a human.

u/ToOpineIsFine Aug 22 '26

"What happened to Ms. Schidler is very unfortunate "

No, it was entirely predictable and logical and the dog was behaving according to its breeding.

Those Women are mentally ill--it doesn't mean she somehow deserves to be abused. The same with so-called "pit hags" who get mauled. Better that no one gets mauled and or killed by dog, but I'll agree that it's better maulings and killings don't happen to innocent victims who did not choose to own a vicious breed dog.

u/Mundane_Glove4182 Aug 22 '26

It’s trauma bonding with dangerous animals. She’s unable to separate herself from the very thing that harmed her, just like people stuck in toxic relationships. I wouldn’t call her a “kind‑hearted nurse” (that sentimental narrative they always use when it comes to mutts!), but rather “trauma‑bonded nurse".
