Just a quick note to say that Dodger is doing much better. He’s more or less back to being the beagle we love, save he has a shaved side and a couple big wounds. Most of the bruising, including the line that showed the pit bull’s jaw, has faded, leaving just the two main punctures and another minor scratch. The only problem we’ve had so far is to keep Dodger from scratching at the rear (and bigger) one.
So far, grand total for all this is about $500, but the pit’s owner has said she’d pay for it all, so at least she’s taking responsibility.
