Dog Undergoes Surgery After Brutal Attack by American Bully in Brazil

A nine-year-old female dog named Jadi required extensive veterinary treatment, including two surgeries, after being attacked by an American Bully in Guarujá, São Paulo, Brazil. The incident occurred when the American Bully reached Jadi through a gap in her gate while she was in her yard. Security footage captured the attack, showing the American Bully biting Jadi and causing severe injuries. Jadi lost teeth and sustained fractures to her jaw, maxilla, and other facial bones, resulting in significant disfigurement. She was immediately hospitalized and remains under intensive care due to the risk of complications, such as suspected rhabdomyolysis, a condition that can lead to kidney failure. Jadi is currently receiving feeding tube support, antibiotics, and pain medication. Her discharge date is uncertain, with a potential need for further surgery. The family anticipates at least a three-week hospitalization period and has launched an online fundraiser to cover the mounting treatment costs. The owners have filed a police report to identify and hold the American Bully's owner accountable. They reported that the owner claimed the dog had no prior aggressive history and promised to discuss the matter further but did not return. The owners also stated that the American Bully was not wearing a muzzle in public, which they believe violates state legislation in São Paulo requiring muzzles for certain breeds.
