A woman from Nevada continues to live with her beloved 11-year-old dog after he broke her nose into a devastating, non-losing attack.
Shayna Crimo, 31, was on January 18 by her Catahoula Leopard Dog named King named King named King named King, an almost 13-year-old pit bull named Krieo, was planned to be put down after his diagnosis of cancer.
The owner of a deep -driven dog unveiled in a harrowing Tiktok who bit her face and shook her, almost her whole nose and upper lip tearing away.
She had returned from a paint and sip class with friends and prepared to go to bed when her cherished puppy attacked.
'As soon as I started giving him a hug and a kiss, he bit me immediately. There was no growl, there was no warning, he did not support, he made no sounds, nothing. It happened so quickly, “said Crimo.
'I remember the sensation of being shaken, which was terrible, and then I ran into the bathroom, saw what I looked like, shouted bloody murder for [her boyfriend] To call 911. '
Crimo explained that she adopted King when he was a puppy and the dog never attacked her or someone else.
“I know he doesn't like being tampered with at night; That is a limit of him that I have respected for almost 11 years, which is why nothing like this ever happened, “she said.

The owner of the deeply sadded dog revealed that the attack took place just a few days before her other dog, an almost 13-year-old pit bull named Krieo (right), would be put down
'If he sleeps and it is at night, he doesn't want anyone in his face. I learned this because he would growl at me, so I stopped doing it.
“But he didn't lie down … He sat upright on the edge of the bed. He has never received warning signals or acted aggressively or something, completely alert and sitting there. '
Crimea lost most of her nose and undergoes forehead flap operations to reconstruct the area.
Two days after her first operation, she had to continue with the euthanasia of her older dog Krieo.
She said that King has not yet been put down because she does not feel ready to handle the emotional toll of the loss.
“These dogs literally grew up with me. I have had them for more than ten years … They are essentially my children, “said Crimo.
“Do I want to put the king down? Absolutely f ***** G not. I prefer to stay at home for the rest of his life and never go anywhere, never have to have babysitters and just be extra careful, but that is not an option. '
Crimo shared that they had made a euthanasia appointment for King, but decided to plan again because she was worried that the crying could infect the wounds on her face.

'The appointment was set [for Sunday]. I canceled it because I am not ready and I want to be able to mourn. I don't want to keep myself together because I don't want to cry too much and run the risk of ruining something, “said Crimo.
“I have canceled it for the time being. It is not an easy decision to make … People think I'm crazy because I still love my dog.
“We don't keep the king. I'm just not ready to do something about it. No one else enters the house unless he is secured in the room. We take the necessary precautions so that I can process things and be ready. '
Crimo has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the multiple procedures she needs to restore the attack.
'I just can't believe how extreme it all is. My heart is in absolute mess, “said fundraising.
'Between the costs of euthanasia, the several operations I will endure (I have only had the first so far), months of missing work, and let's be honest, I need serious therapy. I feel extremely helpless for myself.
'This will be a long, long journey for myself and my loved ones. Everything will help and would be appreciated as well. My heart needs the most healing of all. Prayer, please. '
