Last night my husband Chris took our rescue dog Rusty for a walk on Hastings Ave. around 6:30pm. Halfway up the street, an off-leash big black dog came up behind them and attacked Rusty. He took Rusty's back leg in his mouth and wouldn't let him go until Chris kicked him away. The owner was nowhere to be seen as the dog ran away. Rusty has 5 small lightly bloody bite wounds and is limping terribly.
We need to take him somewhere to get checked out this morning - any suggestions? Thank you.
PS If anyone knows an aggressive black dog on Hastings who is often off-leash, please let me know. Remember, there was no confrontation - dog was off-least and chased Rusty from behind and then attacked, so clearly it is an aggressive dog with an irresponsible owner.
