Tragedy Strikes in Miami Beach as Small Dog Survives Mauling by Larger Foe. A heartbreaking incident unfolded on Sunday when a small dog was brutally attacked by a bigger canine, leaving it severely injured and requiring immediate medical attention.
The vicious assault took place at a cafeteria near 73rd Street and Collins Avenue, where the dog's owner had taken it. Witnesses rushed to intervene, but their efforts were hindered as the larger dog refused to release its grip on the smaller one. According to Abdel Jabri, the distraught owner, "For six or seven people, we couldn’t take his mouth out...he didn't let go." The dog's neck was left with a grotesque injury, resulting in skin being torn away, leaving only patches of hair exposed.
Witness Nadia De La Cruz described the scene as "devastating," stating that she couldn't bear to watch the animal in such a state. The smaller dog is now set to undergo surgery, and in an act of kindness, the owner of the larger dog has offered to cover all medical expenses.
In a show of support for Bella, a GoFundMe campaign has been established. The outpouring of sympathy from the community highlights the importance of animal welfare and the need for greater awareness about responsible pet ownership. As the smaller dog recovers, many are holding their breaths, hoping for a full recovery.

this is so disturbing, but also kinda heartbreaking that the bigger dog's owner was kind enough to help out... like what were they thinking when that dog attacked in the first place?! 
and 6 people couldn't even get its mouth off poor Bella! 
hoping she makes a full recovery 
i cant even right now this is so sad bella is literally fighting 4 her life after that horrific attack on sunday 
i mean what r people doin to their pets?? the owner of the bigger dog should really get in trouble 4 not controlling ur pet properly 1st off why didnt u intervene when u saw wat was happenin?? 
i'm sending all my positive vibes her way can't wait to see her full of energy again 
lets hope bella makes a full recovery & gets 2 live her life w/o any more drama 
like what even is the world rn...a lil dog gets mauled by another bigger one and it's literally breaking my heart 
i mean can u blame me? i've had pets before & they're like part of the fam 
so to see this happen 2 a defenseless lil pup is just devastating. but on a brighter note, tho 
i love how ppl r coming together 2 help this lil dog recover...the GoFundMe campaign is amazing 
& the fact that the bigger dog's owner is covering medical expenses is just pure gold 
let's hope this lil pup makes a full recovery 
The average cost of treating an animal bite is around $1,500, which is why it's so great that the larger dog's owner offered to cover Bella's medical expenses 
That's what I call kindness 
.
i mean what can you do with those huge dogs running around, it's like they're just wild animals or something 
we need to educate people on how to be more responsible pet owners so this kinda thing doesn't happen again 
. On a more serious note, I do think it's awesome that the owner of the bigger dog offered to cover medical expenses - that's super kind and responsible 
And omg, the owner of the big dog just offered to cover medical expenses for the little guy... what's next, going out of their way to make up for their pup's poor behavior? 
The GoFundMe campaign is sweet though, love that we're coming together for Bella 
...this "vicious assault" story has some major red flags. Where's the video proof? No one seems to have actually seen this happen, just witnesses who claim they couldn't intervene because the bigger dog wouldn't let go. That sounds like an excuse to me. And what about the owner of the bigger dog saying they're willing to cover all medical expenses out of the goodness of their heart? Coincidence? I'd love to see some sources or footage from that cafeteria. Maybe this is just a case of misinformation spreading like wildfire 
[sad puppy eyes GIF] 
her owner was stuck trying to save her poor pup & now she's got some serious surgery ahead what a lifesaver that other dog's owner is tho offering to pay for everything 
And poor Bella's neck is literally shredded it's a miracle she survived the whole ordeal. And the fact that the bigger dog didn't let go even when multiple people tried to intervene? Like what's going through its mind, right?
