A tiny girl named Pauline Veloz came to rely on a tiny dog named Hennessey. The Chihuahua helped her live with blindness, cerebral palsy and other disabilities by calming her down and forecasting her seizures.
"She really bonded with him," Jennifer Miller, her grandmother, tells The Mercury News. "That little dog was always by her side or on her lap. He was her world."
On Friday, she was sitting in her stroller outside a relative's house in San Jose when a neighbor's 50-pound pit bull entered the yard and attacked her 2 1/2 pound helper.
"She's a completely different child without her dog," the grandmother says. "She doesn't sleep well. She's very fussy, and she wants to bang her head again. She keeps reaching out for him and she's obviously upset that he's not there."
In addition to tending to Pauline's grief, the Mercury News says the family has to find a way to pay the $800 bill from the veterinarian.
