Antoinette Taus, inatake ng Chow chow

NAKAKATAKO­T ang nangyari kay

Antoinette Taus, na inatake ng aso habang nasa isang kasalan. Ipinost niya sa kanyang Facebook page ang nangyari sa kanya, kasama ang photos ng mga kagat ng aso sa kanyang braso.

“I am currently confined and recovering from dog bites to my left forearm, left thigh, and right breast. I was attacked by a chow chow on Saturday evening while at a family wedding in Baguio. My left forearm suffered the worst and took two hours of surgery and suturing.

“We didn’t get to take photos when it happened or in the emergency room. There was so much going on that nobody thought of it. These are photos of my arm after surgery when my bandages were being changed. But initially when it first happened there was some fat hanging out of the wound and I could even see the tendon in my wrist. Luckily there’s no permanent damage and no arteries or nerves were harmed.

“I don’t mean to worry anyone, but I just wanted to give a proper update for those concerned. I have some events and I sincerely apologize for not being able to attend to work for now. Praying for a speedy recovery and deeply grateful to the amazing doctors and nurses that have been so wonderful in taking care of me since I arrived.

“For those thinking of getting a dog, I have been told that chow chows are the number one breed known to be involved in dog bite cases. I am an animal lover and my natural instincts wouldn’t allow me to harm the dog that was attacking me. He is perfectly fine. But I am definitely traumatize­d most especially by the chow chow breed.”

Marami ang nag-message kay Antoinette na magpagalin­g siya agad, habang pinuri naman siya ni

Giselle Tongi sa pagiging positive kahit nakagat na. Ang hindi nabanggit ni Antoinette ay kung bakit may aso sa nasabing kasalan na dinaluhan niya.
