I'm hoping everyone will join me in wishing a speedy recovery to our beloved Buffy Simmons. She was attacked by a neighborhood dog, a German Shepherd, late yesterday afternoon. She is currently resting comfortably in the local animal hospital until this afternoon when she will be able to go home.

Buffy's mom, Lisa, was a brave hero. She jumped into action to rescue poor Buffy. She fought off the bigger dog with her bare hands. She then draped over Buffy who was on the ground, shielding Buffy with her own body against any further attacks.
I can't imagine the horror they must have felt as this episode unfolded. I'm so glad to know Buffy should make a full recovery. Doctors are almost certain that other than a possible nicked tendon, and barring any infection, Buffy should be fine.
My heart goes out to Lisa and Buffy, but also to the neighbor, owner of the other dog, who has taken responsibility for this attack. She is paying for Buffy's hospital bill, and she will be returning her dog to the breeder where it was bought.

Hugs and wags to you Buffy, get well soon. A MEDAL OF HONOR to your mom Lisa. We're so proud of your heroism Lisa. Words can't express. We love you both and will see you as soon as we can.
