The Pomeranian owner and companion gave the dog CPR once they crossed to the other side (Bowen/Freedom Trail) beach (per my brother's report). When I rushed up to the dog prior, it seemed like a hopeless case. Heart was beating but with each beat, came blood rushing out of its nostrils & mouth. With my limited medical knowledge, I'd (poorly) assume it was spinal injury & internal bleeding that resulted from the attack. I have pitbulls around my neighborhood. It IS safe for me to assume that black dog was a pitbull mix of some kind.
