Thank you VERY much for the information.
So far :
1> It was already reported to the police and the local animal control authorities. Animal control working with us. They are not happy with the owner (and I am being nice saying that :-) ).
2> We have ample pictures.
I don’t know if this actually warrants getting the media involved. When you see these kinds of attacks on TV, you get pissed off. When they happen to you, the best way to describe it is that you feel like you’ve been hit in the head with a blunt instrument and you’re in a daze ... it’s surreal to say the least.

Very common response. This is an emotional, and very possibly physical and medical shock. If anyone involved here(vicims, family and friends, to include the dog’s owner) has chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart issues, high blood pressure, or epilepsy (to name a few) it’s best to keep a close eye on blood sugar, blood pressure, meds, and food and water intake. Forgetting to eat or drink can cause issues with all of the above.
