My GOD!  You are so lucky to have your neighbor looking out for you and also a friend in your ex to let you move in.  How scary!  This is unbelievable...the only word to describe the guy is PSYCHO

Well all that sounds 'news worthy' to me

I can't believe that creep was in your house...THANK GOD for your neighbor!

I'm so glad you're okay and have a place to stay.  I'm glad you'll be getting another Rattie.  Post pictures when you do. 

Hope you're going to hang around still until then!

Lord have mercy girl! Thank God for that neighbor. Wow. Your "ex"huh? Hmmmmm......perhaps not much of an "ex"? Sounds like a stand up guy to me. May want to hold onto that one. Anyhoo....so glad you are safe. Looking forward to hearing how things turn out for you and seeing that new pup.Maybe Max was your guardian angel that day.

I am so glad that they got that guy and that you are out of that neighborhood.  You have a wonderful ex.  I don't know why he is an ex, but I'm glad he is there for you right now.  You really might want to get some professional help.  I was a victim of an obsessed person once....not nearly what you have gone through...but if freaked me out enough that I too lost sleep and worried and was scared and it went on for years.  Not to make you feel unsafe, but your mind can play tricks on you.  I wouldn't live alone again for a long time if I were you.  If things don't work out with your ex, you still need a roommate or family or something to live with. 

That guy needs to be kept in jail forever in my opinion.  I'm sorry it didn't work out with the chi, but i know you will get your rattie eventually.  Right now, you need to take care of yourself.  Lots of prayers are going up for you sweetie.  I think you do have a few guardian angels out there.  Thank God that you did not go back in that house.  Thank God for good neighbors!!!

ya got to hang on to the good guys!!!!  I hope the evil guys parents know what they are doing and he does not jump bail but if he does that just piles up the charges and would serve them right!!!!! I am glad your doing good, stay safe. Lisa

OMG I can't believe I'm on here everyday and haven't seen this post until TODAY!!!  Well, on second thought, I guess do know how......I almost never read the Help and Info subforum. 

Geez, I'm so very sorry for your horrifying and tragic loss!  What an adorable pup your baby was. Looked so much like my button at that age.   As I read through this entire 8 pages, my eyes teared up.  Why is is the criminals seem to have more rights than the victims when they break laws and city codes?  And the poor cops' hands are atied often on first "known" offenses.  But at least the authorities finally got behind you and know this is just "so wrong".  Looks like he's a total sleezeball and comes by it rightly in his A@## hole parents upbringing.  They're just as bad as him if they bailed him out. 

May your baby rest in peace and find some comfort in knowing the four-legged perpetrator, at least, is sgoing to pay a price for the deed.  Too bad the two-legged one can't be PTS, too!!!!! 

I Just read through the whole thread and I am so so sorry about max, I do feel the same way everyone else does about that scum bag, I hope he rotts in jail! I owned a pit when i was 18, he was the sweetest dog ever, but one night i was staying at a hotel with my 3 month old nephew and some guy was drunk banging on the door, screaming let me in, i got up and yelled for him to go away even opened the window a little and told him he had the wrong room, he went to the front desk and had the lady come out and try to make me open the door. so with both of them at the door screaming i cracked it and told the lady that spoke no english he has the wrong room, the guy pushed open the door, and it slammed against the wall, and started to loung toward me my dog bless his heart jumped over the baby(with out moving him) and chased the guy back out side. I made him heel and come back in, and i locked the door and called the police. when they came, the lady told them i told my dog to attack the guy which is NOT true. but since the guy fell into some newly cut oleander bushes and broke skin. My dog was responsible. i told the police everything that happened even let them come in the room and sit next to my dog. they couldn't do anything. animal control came and i explained everything to them, let them meet my dog. still they said well it doesn't madder how the guy got the scrapes your dog is at fault, i couldn't believe it! I tried eveything i could but the next day they took my chico for a 10 day quirenteen, i went every day and feed him and gave him water, they would let me touch him, or go in the cage.they would hose down his kennel with him in it and were very very mean to him! They would get his food wet with the hose and i would leave a bag of dog food for him and they would just tell me, we don't know what happened to it. day 7 my dog was shaking in the corner, freezing and very thin. I pleeded with the main director to please let me take him or let me have a vet come. they wouldn't, he just told me if he's hungry he will eat. i left him a blanket and the guys would get it wet,....... i cry just thinking about it. He didn't make it to day 10. I went to see him on day 9 and he was curled up in a ball on his blaket i left him in the corner, freezing soaking wet. and stiff. with the staff just walking by like nothing. I cry everytime i think about it, i had to stop 3 times whwn writeing this, cause its so hard. I just want EVERYONE to know its not the dog its the owner!!! don't blame the breed. they are very very sweet dogs, but if they are raised to be agressive then they will be. I miss chico alot and they would have just put him to sleep so he wouldn't have suffered so much! he had severe separation anxiety and would not eat or drink anything. they would not let me bury him either cause it was not day 10 and they cremated him with all the rest of the strays and told me, well next time i guess you will think twice about sicking you dog on someone.. I went to court a few weeks later and the guy said he didn't remember what happened but he was sorry. the judge just said im sorry for what you have went though but theres nothing i can do to bring your dog back. I walked out, before he was done speaking, I was so MAD and in tears. I just want all of you to know my story and hope you have a better view of a good pit bull in a bad situation. I blame the owner scum bag of the dog for poor max's death. and i do believe that dog needs to be put down. I hope as time pass's you will not forget max but remember him, as a stepping stone that got you where you are today. I mean this with only goodness in my heart. GOD BLESS everyone for giving her so much support. I hope you adopt a rattie that will fill your heart with love, as my girls have done for me.

Im sorry for writing such a huge thread.

I am so sorry for Chico...how words probably cannot describe the horrific nature of your all's exprerience...my heart breaks for you both
