Update on Attack

Hannah is doing well, we're still trying to understand and are waiting on the outcome from the police department.
Our neighbor is/was new to the unit and had just been given possession of this K-9 (who is also new to the unit, straight from Germany). He was on strict orders to have the K-9 on lead at ALL times, so there will probably be some serious issues for him to deal with as he signed off and has legal documents proving his liability. And, the K-9 was immediately removed from his home and will not be allowed in this area ever again.
The vet came out and checked Hannah out. She's on antibiotics twice daily but really we are amazed that she isn't really hurt with all the ferocity of the attack. She's been kind of clingy, especially to Eric. He's her biggest fan at the moment, I think. She whined when he left for work Saturday but she seems to be doing better now.
Em saw the fight begin, but was locked in her room for the duration. She did see some of the blood in the house while we waited for the police that night, but we don't think she really knows what happened or that anything big happened. I'm just glad we didn't lose Hannah because Emily would never forgive us and my life for the next while would be constant drama w/o her having her playmate. Yes, I'm counting my blessings.
Eric and I are just concerned about the neighbor and why the attack started. We were counseled to call Internal Affairs if we feel they are not addressing the issue appropriately (for instance, if our neighbor is given another K-9, we'll have something to say about that).
So, now we're waiting on police procedure and update. This is the first time something like this has happened, so we get to be the title holders for yet another extremely bizarre occurrence...go figure! =)
