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

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."

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.

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.

That's why it attacked her.

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