Gratitude for rescuers

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to the residents of East King Street who helped me during one of the most terrifying incidents I have ever encountered. On Tuesday, Sept. 18, my beloved dog, Malcolm, was violently attacked by a pitbull while we were enjoying our morning walk. The wandering pitbull came out of nowhere and starting mauling Malcolm. I froze with fear. I started screaming for someone to help me.

Suddenly, people were surrounding me to offer assistance. Unfortunately, I did not get their names. However, I would like to personally thank the two gentlemen who freed the pitbull from Malcolm, the woman who ushered Malcolm behind a fenced yard to keep him safe, and the young ladies who called police and helped comfort me. Words cannot express my sincere gratitude I have for all of you. Each of you will forever hold a special place in my heart as you helped me during my time of need. But, most importantly, you have helped restore my belief in human compassion. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
