Tonya we wish you nothing but the best w/ your recovery. You were a beautiful lady and still are. This is a terrible tragedy and for those who are not cooperating I hope justice is served. Do you not even care about the long term effect this could have to Tonya...or even the fact it happened at all. Guess they have to live w/ their own ghosts. Anyway best of luck and may God be with you.

My family knows Tonya personally and have had her in our home since this horrific incident. We have heard the terror in her voice as she described the way her face was brutally attacked, we have witnessed the site of the vicious looking wounds, we have held her thru many tears because she feels like the freak at a traveling circus, we have been there to see the pain and sickness she is having to deal with. And to think that others are more worried about some man's freedom who should have had all his legal problems taken care of anyway. Why is everyone making Tonya the bad one in this and wanting to degrade her name? Hasn't she endured enough? Grow up and be an adult...and a responsible one at that. This is someone's health you are ignoring. Childish to me!

I would like to inform everyone of the fact that Tonya went to that house w/ a man who had just the week b4 PISTOL WHIPPED a 45 year old woman, and he planned on doing the same to Matt, this DOES NOT excuse the dog by any means, but is something everyone should know, that dog felt something was about to go down...and he stopped it. Not "trying" to make Tonya the bad guy...but maybe now she'll watch what company she keeps...if you run w/ thugs, it'll catch up to you eventually...

i know both the dog and the owner personally and i agree with most of you saying that he should be responsible for the dogs actions. i've been around that dog for almost 5 years and not once was he vicious towards me. in general, he's a pretty mild dog. intimidating, yes. but he was mainly pretty relaxed. he must of felt threatened for his or his family's lives. he was/is a very loyal dog and i hope SOMEONE takes responsibility for what has happened. again, i'm not calling potter the bad guy, but if the above is a true fact, junior (the pitbill) was merely protecting his family.

I don't know these people or the story, however the dog should have been taken care of so an attack was not possible on anyone, under any circumstance.

This is for those who think they know the dog or what happened. Matt was not in amy harm so learn your facts before your mouth. All you that think you know dont know sh*t, I own a pit bull and never ever had to worry about my animal loving some one, because I didnt teach my dog with a tazer to be a good animal.Im not mad at the animal I am mad at the own for being a sick individual, and for the fact tthat the dog has bit three other people and he didnt see anything worng with that. So for those how have the lovely negative comments come see what I have to deal with every day just looking in the mirror and see if you feel you know something or someone so well.
Thank you though to though that have showed so much love and support. Im am very thank for your thoughts and prayer. I had you all very close to my heart. You all truely a blessing to a friend of need. Thank you all again so much Love you all!!

That is not the fact her the fact is that dog was vilant and it had attacked others as well, and for matt he was never in no harm I was there I think i would know better then some one who wasnt.

YOU GO GIRL! TO BE HONEST MR. BROOKS IS THE THUG IN THIS STORY. HE IS THE ONE W/ THE MUG SHOT ALL OVER THE T.V AND NEWSPAPERS...SO INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT WHO SHE HANGS OUT WITH...MAYBE SHE SHOULD WORRY MORE ABOUT WHO'S HOME SHE CHOOSES TO VISIT. I WAS NOT THERE EITHER. DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY-AND DON'T REALLY CHOOSE TO WANT TOO. THE FACT IS-EVEN IF SHE HAD BEEN RUNNING W. A THUG HE IS NOT ONE WHO HARMED HER OR TURNED HIS BACK ON HER IN NEED. THIS HAPPENED IN THE HOME OF ANOTHER IRRESPONSIBLE THUG. MAYBE WE BEST CHECK OURSELVES BEFORE MAKING FALSE ASSUMPTIONS. SO...WHAT IS THE REAL MEANING OF A THUG? A PIECE OF TRASH WHO'S OWN INTEREST IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM THAN OTHERS. WHAT IS A FRIEND? SOMEONE WHO IS THERE NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION.

First off "The Thug in the news" is because of all you people and your comments about how matt was wrong the man w/ tonya is a real dickface i know personally did plenty of people wrong in this town and i feel that he was there at the house to do wrong to matt brooks and the dog felt the vibe wheather or not which person got bit was just love for his owner, not just an attack on a Civilian!!! THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

THINK ABOUT IT!!!! Well check this out who ever you are that shit wasnt right I could give a damn what you think. Jr was just in jail wit your sweet little matt brooks, and they seem to get along just fine. Plus you must have a problem with JR but you seem to forget its not about him. Its about matt not controling his animal and the animal attacking the wrong person if that was the caase. You are wrong though and seem to be very narrow minded. I feel sorry for you and maybe we should meet and you tell me if you think you could go through what I am. Thats the only reason you seem to ber running off at the mouth because you you where not there or cuz it didnt happen to you.

I find that hard to believe when the dog has attacked two other people i know for a fact and thats not including me!! The pitbull wasnt protecting any one because no one was in harm. I guess its ok Im the one that almost bled to deth, almost lost a eye, and almost lost my nose. You people make me sick if it would have happened to you or someone close to you it would be a different story.

YEAH...WELL I KNOW JR PERSONALLY ALSO. YOU MAY THINK HE IS A DICKFACE BUT MATT MUST NOT BE ANY BETTER OR JR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AT HIS HOME. WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DO W/ THE STORY ANYWAY? IF JR HAD NOT EVEN BEEN THERE THIS DOG WOULD STILL HAVE ATTACKED. OPEN YOUR EYES DUMB-ASS...ALL PIT BULL'S ARE AN EMBRED SPECIES AND SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL. FACTS: JR IS NOT THE ONE W/ HIS MUG SHOT PLASTERED ON TV NOR WAS HE THE ONE W/ 2 OUTSTANDING WARRANT'S. SO WHO IS THE THUG HERE WITH FAULTS TO HIDE? DON'T SEE ANYONE HERE W/ ANY SHAME IN THEIR GAME. PLAIN AND SIMPLE...THE DOG ATTACKED, THE OWNER RAN LIKE A CHICKEN, A WOMAN WAS SEVERELY INJURED... END OF STORY. THE REASON AINT SHIT. IF YOU LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE YOU SHOULD NOT THROW STONES. GIVE IN AND SHOW SOME DAMN REMORSE AND TAKE ON SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR GOD SAKE. BY THE WAY SHOW YOUR REAL NAME IF YOU KNOW SO MUCH. WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

I shot a pitbull as it was tearing apart an Aussie shepherd that lived across the street from it. I was at the house next door to serve papers, the pit got away from its owners (it was not leashed) and charged across the street toward me. At about the same time, the shepherd wiggled its way passed its owner, who had opened their door in response to my knock. The pit made a sharp left turn to clamp onto the shepherd's shoulders with its jaws. I then had time to hustle back to my truck, get my Bersa .380, and while the pit was eating this other dog alive, and while a dozen people are screaming their respective dog's names, put two shots into the pit's back. The pit died instantly, the shepherd died about five minutes later.
The sheriff charged the owners of the pitbull with some misdemeaner that I can't quite recall, and I was off to my next serve after they checked my CCW permit.
DID. NOT. BOTHER. ME. ONE. BIT.

All you people from Warrensburg must be from Arkansas, everytime I look on this site there is some redneck that cannot spell and Warrensburg is a college town and so stupid people doing something stupid that causes someone else some pain. As far as pitbulls, I think they should kill every pitbull out there, they have been breed to do what they do. Wake up Morons!!!!!
