Hi Chirley,
How terrible that your poor little Gidget was attacked by a bull mastiff who must be 30 times as big as Gidget
!
You know all kinds of English bull dogs, bull mastiffs, bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, pit bull terriers etc can be dangerous when they get older even if they are very kind when they are young. In Denmark they have prohibited American Staffordshire Terriers and pit bull terriers because the older dogs often attack people and other dogs. If I had a dog I should avoid all contact with all kinds of bull dogs.
Hope Gidget is recovering OK!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
