	Oh my God, Mardi; will we ever be free of irresponsible dog
handlers?  I believe, here in Kansas City, pit bulls, for one, are not
allowed in apartment complexes.
	I agree that some pit bulls can be great dogs, but if this one was
ever used to fight, often they seem to stay aggressive.
	I forgot if Rachel is in the same state as you, but prosecute to the
fullest extent of the law; get the press involved; do everything you can to
try to get the public educated about how devastating a dog attack can be for
a handler.

Hello list, I have some sad news to report. Rachel Krieg's guide dog Lady
was attacked and severely injured by a pit bull.Rachel is a member of this
list.The dog has neurological symptoms as well as bite wounds.This could
have been prevented if animal control had done their job as well as her
apartment manager.Neither of them made any attempt to correct the problem of
this pit bull running in the complex without a leash. Animal control had
been called several times before and after the attack and they have ignored
the situation. The manager did nothing either. The people who own the pit
bull just laughed at Rachel when she tried to talk to them.Even the police
were very insensitive to Rachel.They refused to talk with Rachel after they
talked to the owners of the offending dog.We have laws to protect our
service dog but they are not enforced.The vet bills are already over
$3000.00. Rachel is very upset about her dog's  condition, and so am I as I
helped Rachel train Lady.This dog is so sweet and loving and an excellent
guide.She may not recover.If any one wishes to donate to help with the vet
bills, you can contact me off list and I can give you the info where to
donate. No amount is too small.Even if it's only a dollar,every penny
counts.Please help if you can.Mardi and Shaman and Neechee
