I really appreciate your kindness. I'm sorry about what you had to experience as well.

I wasn't sure how to deal with my daughter's fears. Some people suggested therapy. This may be what she needs, but I came from a family that never did any therapy, and I guess that's why I never really considered it.

My husband suggested maybe visiting a pet store to see the puppies, but not anytime soon, though.

I didn't want our neighbors to lose their dog, or have it put down. I just wanted them to take some responsibility for what happened, and suing them seems to be the only way they will take this seriously. I definitely don't want this to happen to another child, or adult for that matter.

Again, thank you for your kindness. You made my day!
