Surviving a Dog Attack
Brooklinn survived a severe pitbull attack in November 2020, which resulted in her losing her upper lip and caused considerable damage to her face, necessitating medical attention including surgery.
Despite the physical and emotional trauma of the attack, Brooklinn has openly shared her recovery journey on social media.
Over the course of the past two years, she has had more than ten reconstructive surgeries, which allowed her to regain her upper lip and the part of the nose she lost in the attack. Her upper lip was reconstructed from a part of skin which was taken from her arm, which was later tattooed over to achieve more natural look.
Aside from documenting her recovery journey on social media, Brooklynn also revealed more details about the accident, saying that she was attacked by her cousin’s dog, who was supposedly trained and socialized. However, she also clarified that she had no ill will towards her cousin or her dog. Although Brooklinn didn’t want the dog to be euthanized, it ultimately had to be put down due to the state law.
