Nunz Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Saw this on Fb this am, hope she will be ok. If you can please take a moment to ask God to help my little daughter Sadie. She’s such a sweet, caring and tough little girl and right now she’s enroute to Sick Kids to have major surgery all over her body from a brutal double dog attack. She is stable but the damage is severe, I’m sitting in my car in tears and just asking anyone who trusts in the Lord to take a moment for my little girl. My wife is with her and was also attacked, she has been stitched up but was also pretty hurt. I’ve never experienced this before, where you want to take on all the hurt of someone so badly but can’t. Watching a helicopter take your family away is horrific but I’m thankful for the kindness and skill of the team at Minden hospital as well as the air crew. Thank everyone, please keep lindsay in your prayers too. She feels terrible she couldn’t fight them off, it was 300 pounds of dog, no one could have. She’s an amazing woman, she won’t be close to the phone for a while but please pray for her. Sorry I’m just at a total loss right now, I’m angry. Really angry.

scottyr Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) I read about a dog attack in Minden but didnt know any more details. Sounds like it was horrific https://kawarthanow.com/2020/04/15/six-year-old-girl-critically-injured-in-easter-sunday-dog-attack-near-haliburton/ Edited April 16, 2020 by scottyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught part of the report on CHEX TV about a girl & her mother being attacked by 2 St Bernards. I didn't catch the locale or any names. Hopefully she has a full recovery. That's kind of odd that I don't think I've ever heard of a St. Bernard attacking anyone, but I could be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Man Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hope she has a speedy recovery, she's definitely in the right place.

I can't believe they haven't put the dogs down yet https://globalnews.ca/news/6823174/ontario-girl-injured-st-bernards-haliburton-long-recovery/ I believe, ither during or once the investigation is done the family has the legal right to request the dogs to be destroyed. The dogs owners if they are credible should just have it done automatically before it's even requested. I'm thinking a rabies test might be ordered to rule out that if the attack was unprovoked. Bernards are not very prone to incidents of this nature, it's seems odd for sure. Prayers and thoughts for the Girl and the Family 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I will pass along the well wishes to the Lester's from OC'ers. the thoughts and prayers of you all are much appreciated. I wasn't going to start a post about this because sometimes the politics of sledding can be unpleasant. This dog attack has and will be life changing for all of us who care about Sadie and her family. The dogs will be put down.

livin' on the b103 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks for posting on this Nunz, I knew it needed to be on here, just didn't have the steam to do it.

zoso Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 that is just horrible. A friend was attacked by a pit bull and bitten in the face crushing her orbital bone. She has had 7 surgeries thus far and is disfigured for life. Some dogs are not ok. I ove dogs but there are breeds that should not be allowed to be owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) The dogs will have to be in quarantine for 10 days per Health Unit regs. I am 100% positive they will be put down on the 11th day. There is a Go Fund Me page for Sadie if anyone is interested in helping out. Friends of our kids had a St Bernard that was borderline vicious. I am not afraid of dogs generally but there was no way I would get out of my car when I went to their house if the dog was loose. It finally bit a young child and they put it down.

ToSlow Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 they can get real nasty if they are tied up all there life, and not feed. or kicked around, never know how the owners raised them. all dogs can bite if not raised right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
