Life changed in a split second when Dustin Low tried to break up a fight between two family pets.(WANF)<\/p>\nATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) \u2014 A Cherokee County man suffered severe facial injuries while breaking up a fight between two family dogs.<\/p>\n

Life changed in a split second when Dustin Low tried to break up a fight between two family pets.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was probably a matter of five minutes total action time, and then the rest was just trying to gather myself, my breath and control the bleeding,\u201d Low said.<\/p>\n

His wife, Chelsea, recalls the night she looked at her husband and noticed his facial tissue had been badly damaged.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe came downstairs and was like, \u2018I need help with the pets.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018No, you need a hospital,\u2019\u201d Chelsea recalled.<\/p>\n
Medical bills for the surgeries have been stacking up, and Low\u2019s final surgery will help him return to a sense of normalcy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need $12,310 just to get him on the operating table for the third surgery. They will not do the third surgery until we pay $12,310. That\u2019s for the first two surgeries. The last surgery is $6,500,\u201d Chelsea said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will get rid of this piece, which is the rest of my forehead flap, and it will sew that back up,\u201d Low said.<\/p>\n
As Dustin and Chelsea pray for a miracle, they said they don\u2019t hold anger toward the dogs and plan to keep them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a mistake. It was a freak accident. They didn\u2019t want to hurt him,\u201d Chelsea said.<\/p>\n
