Two years ago, Wilson and her boyfriend went to his brother's house. At that time, they got along well with a South African mastiff, and the dog behaved very friendly. But no one expected that this would be the most thrilling scene in Wilson's life.
As everyone sat on the floor chatting, the South African Mastiff suddenly lunged at Wilson and tried to lick her face. However, its behavior unexpectedly turned into a fierce attack, biting Wilson's nose. Blood gushed and stained the room red.
Wilson instantly fell into a coma, and her boyfriend and brother panicked, screaming and trying to pull the dog away. The owner also rushed forward and tried to separate the dog from Wilson. The bloodstained scene made everyone's hearts tremble.
At the sound of her boyfriend's call, Wilson gradually regained consciousness. She saw blood coming out of her nose and mouth, and her entire face was swollen. She covered her face, screamed in pain and was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.
That night, Wilson went to two hospitals to find a plastic surgeon. Doctors performed her first emergency surgery, cleaned the wound and performed preliminary sutures. At the same time, in order to temporarily cover the wound, the doctor also put an artificial skin on her.
Due to the severity of Wilson's nose injury, complex reconstructive surgery was required. In order to obtain better medical resources and expert opinions, she and her family decided to seek further treatment in Dallas, Texas.
In Dallas, Wilson found a famous surgeon and underwent forehead flap surgery. This surgery involves removing a flap of skin from the forehead and transplanting it into the nose to reconstruct the alar and bridge of the nose. Due to the complexity of the surgery and the need to adjust the position and shape of the flap several times, she underwent 9 surgeries.
To facilitate surgery and treatment, Wilson lived in Dallas for 6 months. During this time, she went through a lot of pain and struggle, but she always maintained an optimistic and positive attitude.
Until July 2023, she underwent her 10th reconstructive surgery. The surgery played a key role in the restoration of the appearance of her nose and overall facial features. After months of hard work, Wilson's recovery finally paid off. Her nose and overall facial features gradually returned to normal, and she regained her beauty and confidence.
During his recovery, Wilson also learned a lot of important lessons about health, mindset and life. She began to focus on eating a healthy diet and exercising moderately, and learned how to regulate her emotions and mindset. She channeled her inner stress and anxiety by journaling, meditating, and communicating with friends. She believes that maintaining a positive mindset is one of the keys to recovery.
In the end, Wilson not only overcame his injuries, but also became a stronger and more confident person. She began to face life again and shared her experiences and recovery through social media. She hopes that her story will bring courage and strength to those who are going through hardship. She told everyone: "Don't be afraid of difficulties and setbacks, as long as you face them bravely, there will always be a light that illuminates the road ahead." ”
Let's talk about how to protect yourself and prevent danger when facing this kind of fierce dog.
When you encounter a very aggressive dog, first of all, don't run, because if you do, the dog may feel that you are playing with it and get even more excited. All you have to do is step back slowly, don't look it in the eye, don't make big moves, and stay calm.
If you have that kind of anti-wolf spray or anti-bear spray, you can take it out and spray it on the dog to give it a warning. But be careful, this should only be used as a last resort, don't get it in your eyes.
Then, find a safe place to hide as soon as possible, such as a high place or the back of a car. At the same time, find something between you and your dog to make it feel like there's something separating you.
Finally, if you really can't control the situation, call the police uncle or someone from the animal control center to help.
In short, when encountering a very aggressive dog, don't panic, slowly retreat, and find a safe place to hide. Don't touch it lightly unless you really know how to handle the situation.
In addition, dog owners, especially those who are aggressive, really need to be careful not to let their own dogs get into trouble.
First of all, you need to train the dog well. It's not very formal, it's just that when you play with it every day, teach it some simple commands, such as "sit down" and "don't bark". If it suddenly becomes fierce or particularly nervous, there may be something that makes it uncomfortable. At this point, you can try to soothe it or ask a professional dog trainer to help.
Secondly, walking the dog is really important.
First of all, dog owners need to understand that your dog may become unfriendly and even aggressive at times. Having a dog requires exercise, which not only depletes their energy but also reduces their anxiety and aggression. Therefore, as the owner, you should take the dog out for a walk and run regularly every day, and if you find that the dog's mood is not right, you must take measures in time.
When walking the dog, you should keep the leash on a leash and don't let the dog run around.
In addition, you should always pay attention to the emotional changes of your dog. Because sometimes dogs will suddenly rush out to chase other animals or people, which can easily cause problems. Not only will this give you more control over the dog, but it will also let the dog know what it can and can't do. If you stay with your dog, play with it, and talk to it, it will like you more and listen to you more.
Of course, different dogs have different personalities and habits, so you need to know your dog. This way, in case of a dangerous situation, you can let the dog follow your instructions and avoid accidents.
Also, don't forget to get a pen or cage at home to keep your dog safely inside. It's not just about feeding it and playing with it, it's also about its health and behavior. If you notice that something is wrong with your dog, you must see a veterinarian in time.
In short, dog owners must be responsible, always vigilant, and pay attention to the dog's emotional changes and behavior. This is the only way to ensure your personal safety and that of others, after all, a dog bite is something that neither party wants to happen.
