A pit bull that was so badly mauled yesterday that it was considered to be in a critical condition, has pulled through.

The pit bull was attacked by a dog that had broken out of a property in Plattekloof. South African Paramedic Services were summoned to the scene, and rushed there fully expecting to find a human patient as per usual. Instead they found a heavily bleeding dog. Photos taken on the scene were so gory that Melkbos.net decided not to publish them.

The team took along a student paramedic from Ambutek College, who handled the situation with aplomb. Kudos to the team, and the young man, that looked after the pittie so well before taking him to Citi Vet in Monte Vista. According to reports the pitbull “has made it and is on the road to recovery.”
