Trail Blazers - Meet Some of the Faces of the Dog Bite Victims' Advocacy Movement

Just a Few of the Tucson Walk Supporters

DogsBite.org - This Saturday marks a very special day for dog bite victims' advocacy. Grassroots activists Melissa "Mellie" Baze and Matthew Pimple have organized the first ever Walk Event for dog bite victims in Tucson. DogsBite.org will be capturing as much of the event as possible via video and still photographs. This montage highlights some of the central faces of the dog bite victims' advocacy movement -- some who are attending the event and others who cannot.

For those who cannot be in attendance, we will dearly miss you! You will be with us in spirit as we charge through yet another levy designed to contain us and our very powerful message: Victims will have a voice on the very important issue of dangerous dogs and that voice will be heard. This voice is much larger than any of us can imagine. On October 27, 2012 this voice will ring out far and wide, creating a bold new arrival into the United States of America and abroad.

Meet Some of the Trail Blazers

4-year old Levi Mulkey of Chino Valley, AZ, was viciously mauled by two dogs as he tried to recover a Frisbee that landed near his neighbor's fence. The dogs latched onto his face and tried pulled him through the fence. Saturday's event will be taking donations to help Levi's family struggle through this horrific mauling and resulting medical bills.

This Tucsonan is looking forward to walking tomorrow. It will be a nice, sunny fall day. Perfect for speaking our inconvenient truth to power.

VICIOUS DOG ATTACKS are so senseless. Each story of every victim effects me. But none is so engraved in my mind as these 4 VICTIMS: HUONG LE from Seatec Wa, NICK FOLEY from Cary IL, DOMINIC SOLESKY from Baltimore MD, and CHARLOTTE BLEVINS from Omaha NE. How absolutely delightful it was to see Wendy and Charlotte's picture on this post. WALK PROUD EVERYONE!!!

Thank you to all that organized this event.

It is about time victims had a voice.

I am with you all in spirit, and am looking forward to photos and videos from the walk.
