Lucky—and you certainly are. You are a cute pup and you did not deserve the cruelty which was inflicted on you. May you heal fast and hopefully, the individual(s) who did this to you will be found and punished to the fullest extent. Our love and best wishes for a speedy recovery are with you.

That you continue to love and trust us humans despite what we’ve done to you is a true testament to your breed. We’re pulling for you, little one!

While I am not a fan of pit bulls I am way less of a fan of people who abuse animals.
I hope Lucky pulls through and get a nice, nurturing, PEACEFUL home (with no kids around).
And whoever did this…man, it better have been because you were attacked because I see nothing else that justifies sticking a knife through another living creature….

How embarrassing this is for the human race! My hopes are that Lucky gives light, love and companionship for years to come. If everyone can just remember —there is no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad dog owner! (Or neighbor, as the case may be.)

They say that certain ones will burn a little hotter down there, and I believe that the person that did this to such a precious animal, any animal for that, will definately be a little warmer than others. Lucky, my family, that includes our 5 pits, are sending you lots of love, hugs and doggie kisses. You are in our prayers, and if for some reason you are called to Rainbow Bridge, you will find an awesome playmate named Lola that was called away last Thursday. Be strong, stay pretty, and know that lots and lots of folks and furbabies are pulling for you.

Lucky,
Hang in there sweetheart. It amazes me how no matter how badly pit bulls are treated by the human race, that they continue to love us unconditionally. Despite what the world says, pit bulls are nothing more than babies wrapped in fur. My thoughts are with you Lucky and I hope they find this monster that did this to you.

People must remember dogs behavior just as they have been taught. Blame people but not the dogs. All Pit bills are not mean. Judging Lucky’s situation, I say the person who committed this act against another living being need to be put to sleep.

Glad you are doing well, but I wonder what really happened….where is your owner, and why didn’t the vet that you were originally taken to take care of you? Instead that vet left you with the knife in your head and let the Humane Society take you? If I were the cops I would want to talk with your owner…and I would like to know who the vet was and his hospital….so I can make sure I never give him my business. You will do fine now, and someone out here will love you dearly.

Having a friend who rescued a very sweet, loving pit bull it makes me sich to hear things like this. Why aren’t are animal cruelty laws harsher especially considering situations like this? I don’t think a jury would have any trouble convicting someone who committed this horrendous crime! All my love and prayers to this poor, innocent dog. One day the sicko who did this will have to answer for his crime, and I wish I could live to see that.

I lick him as much as possible and I am very sweet to him. I’m sure someone will take you home and find out that you are a great companion.

I am praying they will catch the person that did this so they may never hurt another. Get well love.

Why are we wishing a dog good luck? Why don’t we see this many responses for all the sick and injured humans in the hospital? This is a shame.
Lucky, let this be a lesson for all dog owners. Let your dog out of your control, and this could be YOUR animal. I think the dog owner should be fined and imprisoned for letting the dog out of his control.

Lucky,
I hope that you pull through this ok and the sick person that did this to you is caught and jailed for this horrible act of cruelty. Anyone that can harm a helpless animial like this should be put away forever.
You and all animals that suffer abuse will be in my prayers.

Hi Lucky! I’ve read all the get well wishes that you have already received, and I hope you can feel all the love that is being poured out to you. I imagine the line of people who want to adopt you is already forming. I hope and pray that people are screened extremely carefully to make sure that you next home is your best and forever home, with unconditional love and lots of attention. As one person already mentioned, what happened to you is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately. It is just pure evil, plain and simple. I have been owned by pits in the past, and you are absolutely wonderful, loving companions with a delightful sense of humor. The fact that you have the most wonderful, sweet kisses may be one of the world’s best kept secrets. Hang in there, girl! Wear your scar with pride, to remind us all of what you have overcome.

It is a shame that a person would mis- treat any animal in such a manner. But, I can tell you from personal experience that pit bulls are not the sweet, love- able animals some people make them out to be. They are highly dangerous and will jump you in a heart-beat, for no reason whatsoever, except that you happen to be where they are. Most people get them so they can say they have a pit bull for home “protection”, which is okay if they are in a fenced area, with the appropriate “dangerous dog” sign up. Luckily, this county has a leash law, and a dog catcher to back it up.

Best wishes for Lucky’s speedy recovery. The really lucky one will be the person who adopts her. I reared three kids with pits - never had anyone bitten, and none ever started a fight or showed any aggressive traits. Of all our dogs these were the sweetest, most loyal, and most affectionate - one even saved my wife from a bull that had her on the ground.
Lucky’s assault is a prime example of what can result from misplaced mass hysteria about a breed of dog. Some ignorant person has decided to punish this dog not for what she is, but what their perception of her breed is. Brutes like those surrounding your ex-quarterback help perpetuate that image. Punish them, not the dogs.

To James Etheridge … I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience with a pitt bull. I am a pitt bull owner. She’s every bit as sweet as my lab mixes. I’ve only been bitten by one dog in my 50 years. A white standard size poodle … I don’t dislike all poodles. A Jack Russell terrier nearly chewed the foot off a newborn in east Georgia last year. Lots of stories.

In his own time he will judge wicked men…I hope you get a good home Lucky .And I’m glad someone Good is looking out for you in the meantime..June

I agree! A front seat in hell to the ones who abuse animals, such as the hideous people who are involved in dog fighting. Lucky you are in the hands of good people now, I pray for your recovery and a happy home in the future. Pits are so misunderstood. I just don’t understand why some people are so filled with hate & need to take it out on innocent animals and children.

Atlanta Humane Society - how could you even WANT to contact this former owner - if you give this dog back to the former owner - you will not see another donation from me - I have always supported the Atlanta Humane Society - but please do not allow this dog to go back into the same enviroment - they may not miss her brain the next time!!!! Thank you for saving this beautiful pup.

Pitbulls are wonderful, loving, and loyal dogs. I own two and it is very clear to me how big of hearts they have. Do not look at the breed, look at the owners! You train dogs to behave the way you want them to, so if a dog is acting aggressively, look at the owners! Lucky, I hope you get well soon! What an amazing strong dog you are!

I feel criminal charges need to be brought against the owner, seeing that they have not come forward. I think that is a sign of guilt. That was a graphic picture of the knife in the head. How would the owner feel if it was in his head? It looks deliberate. On a lighter note, Who is the covergirl from the humane society caring for Lucky? He is a lucky dog.

Pit bulls do not ask to be turned into killing machines. Most are happy, licking, loving dogs who just want to be loved back like any other dog. Please donate to Atlanta Humane Society as well as they do great work! I’m sure people will be standing in line to give Lucky a home. www.atlantahumane.org

Do you people realize this is a dog and it can not read? Also, did you not see the report that this dog was running loose with another dog terrorizing the neighborhood (something the AJC keeps leaving out of the story). This is a Pit Bull. The knife very well might have been in self defense. Do you all forget the little old Korean women that was attacked in Roswell a month ago??? It had to be shot to get it off of her. I for one would not want “Lucky” moving in next door to me. AHS had better be care with the adoption of this dog.

YOU KNOW IT IS A SHAME THAT THESE SO MISREPRESENTD BREED OF DOGS CAN’T GO TO COURT AND FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHTS TO SURVIVE LIKE THEIR ABUSERS GET TO DO. WHOEVER DID THIS SHOULD BE PUNISHED IN SPADES, MAYBE BY LETTING SOMEONE DO THE SAME THING TO HIM OR HER IN RETURN. PIT BULLS ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM A LAB, OR YOUR KIDS FOR THAT MATTER. THEY LEARN WHAT THEY ARE TAUGHT, AND THEY HAVE LITTLE DEFENSE AGAINST THEIR HUMAN SO CALLED PROTECTORS. PEOPLE THAT ABUSE ANIMALS SHOULD SUFFER THEIR OWN TYPE OF PUNISHMENT, BUT LIKE SO MANY CHILD MOLESTORS AND ABUSERS, SADLY THEY WILL NOT BE PUNISHED AND WILL GO ON TO ABUSE AGAIN. MAYBE ALL OF OUR SO-CALLED HIGH POWERED OFFICIALS SHOULD DO A LOT MORE TO PROTECT OUR INNOCENT ANIMALS AAS WELL AS OUR CHILDREN. IF IT LANDS ON THERE OWN DOORSTEP THEN MAYBE THEY WILL WILL SEE THE NEED TO GIVE A LOT STIFFER PUNISHMENTS TO THE DEGENERATES THAT SO EASILY ABUSE AND HURT INNOCENT VICTIMS. BUT , AS WITH MY ADOPTED SON, I WON’T BE SITTING AROUND HOLDING MY BREATH FOR ANYTHING TO CHANGE. NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

I know that we both have a bad reputation but mine is probably more deserved than yours.
You will truly become an ambassador for your kind.

Humans have always both amazed, fascinated and disgusted me. Of course, it is a sad and pathetic individual who would do something of this horrific nature to a helpless animal. However, many of those same people showing so much horror and sadness for a four legged creature are the same ones who, when innocent civilians are stragged and mega-ton bombs are dropped on them, killing innocent men, women and children, you will be the first to say “THIS IS WAR! Innocent people die in war!” Or you will blame the stresses of war when an equally sick and twisted individuals would rape and murder a fourteen year and kill her entire family to make it appear the enemy “insurgents” did it! Some of you are just as sad as the individual(s) who plunged that knife into the head of a helpless four legger.

Just read your story Lucky. Please don’t hold how you were hurt against us as a human race. You, as much as anyone, know that breeds (to include humans) are products of thier environment. You must have been raised well, with love, so hopefully, you will find that again. There is a pit bull across the street (female - Bailey) who runs across the street every time she sees me come home. Sits, actually smiles for me while I pet her and then runs back home. So, I know that there are good pit bulls. Get well soon. YOU pick out who you want to go home with!
