I am so mad and upset right now.  I was taking Tonka and Zena for a walk in
a field near my house.  To get to this field, you have to pass a house that
has a Pit Bull.  I waited to cross to that side of the street until I was
passed this house and continued on into the field.  All of the sudden this
Pit Bull comes running around the corner and attacks Zena, who was only 1
foot behind me sniffing something.  Tonka was in front at the end of his
flexi and he hears the attack and come running at this Pit Bull at full
speed, slams into it and stands over it biting it and making these horrible
snarling/growling noises.  The Pit Bull must have gotten scared because it
started to try to get way when it's owner comes running around the corner
calling it.  It runs to it owner while I went the other way and didn't wait
to see if the owner would say anything.  I just wanted to get away from
there!

Tonka and Zena seem none the worse for wear but I have this huge brush burn
on my left forearm from one of the leashes and I can't seem to calm myself
down.  I keep thinking about what could have happened and that makes me
start to cry.  I am so upset -- not only by that but the fact that I seem to
be the only one in my area that keeps their dogs under control.  Why do I
always have to be the one to watch out for my dog and make sure they don't
hurt anyone when everyone else lets their dogs attack mine?  Something
similar happened in the same area about 2 years ago but it was a Beagle that
attacked Tonka.  He now doesn't like smaller dogs at all.  Its not his fault
but it and I can't blame him.  I not liking little dogs right now either.

Sorry to vent but I didn't know where else to turn.  Kevin is at school and
won't be home for another 3 hours.  All I can say is that I am proud of
Tonka, not only did he save his sister but he also didn't give me a hard
time about leaving.  I love them both with all my heart and I would have
been devastated if anything happened to either of them.

Tonka   (Mom, why do other dogs always attack me?)
Zena  (My big brother, Tonka, saved me.  He's my hero!)
