Gosh! I’m late to this and the start of the thread was truly awful.
The plus side of being late is that I get to see straight away that the little trooper has pulled through.
We have two Maltese and this is my biggest fear. It’s on my mind all the time. They are so small and fragile they are more like cats than dogs.
That’s a true horror story what happened and I can’t imagine the shock and upset.
I’m so glad to see that most recent photo. He’s a tough cookie.

I think that asking the owner of the dog who did this to pay the entire vets bill would be a better place to start. It sounds like they have paid part of it but not all, which I don't understand.
Their (his/hers) dog is not insured, as lady “owner” only offered to pay so much (over the phone to the veterinary surgery - won’t answer our calls). Police officer dealing with it has been taken ill.I was premature to say she paid anything, so far only offered it.
The biggest upset is that the guy just stood there, instead of trying to stop the attack.

to not drag his dog off Friday’s photo:
The little man is stronger and stronger as the weeks go on - I’m amazed by the transformation in so little time.
Front right paw is a bit wobbly/unsteady at times. But he manages to walk just fine.
Initially, right after the attack - he’s rear right paw was spasming a lot. On its own accord. But he’s getting there.
Started to show “interest” in cats.
I’m/we’re safeguarding him now (when outdoors), but he shows no fear to other dogs.

Yes, he’s a really really strong dog. Plus I have “conditioned” both him and myself over the last couple years out in the countryside (it being snow or sunshine). Which has made his legs really strong, plus he lost excess weight (this was mostly last year).
Lately, even started to lift the hind leg when having a pee, says it all.

Great to read this Soad . Lately, even started to lift the hind leg when having a pee, says it all.
Dogs do seem to have great resilience. Super glad he’s on a good path
