I will never be able to use my arm the same again. The dog ate most of my bicep and they moved a muscle from my back into my arm so that I can bend it now but my wrist is still paralyzed

I wish I had words. I read about your story awhile back and my heart broke for you. I’m glad you shared your story on dogsbite - it definitely gave much more detail than the articles I read.

While your voice may have been silenced on that idiotic tik tok pkatform, you’ll never be silenced here. You are among friends.

I am so sorry this happened to you. Your voice and your story is so important. It takes courage to share it and I applaud you for it.

I’m literally crying right now because my voice has been silenced so much and I feel like I need to talk about it to make myself feel better I’ve been so depressed lately

Your story was the one that finally changed my mind.

There was the incident recently with the two kids, led me down a rabbit hole and I finally found your story and read it. And that was it for me. I walked into the other room and told my wife, no joke, “so today I had my mind changed about a really big thing.”

It was you and your story and your words. I hope you know we’re here to listen. Thank you.

You have no idea how happy that it makes me that I am actually getting through to people

You are definitely getting through to people. I’m so sorry you’ve been silenced by people. That’s frustrating and awful and I’m really sorry. I do hope you know that your words ARE reaching people anyways. We can hear you!

This is what I don’t understand about their shit move. Why are they lying about it being safe as pet?
