That really is great news - it will in no way make up for what happened to your poor Bonnie but at least other dogs (& people!) are now less at risk.

I sincerely hope they cough up for the entirety of your vet bill + behaviorist sessions.

ETA: I post this wherever I see discussions about dog attacks. If a dog is attacking your dog, the easiest and best way to get it to stop is to lift both it's back paws off the floor into a wheelbarrow position and walk backwards.
