My doodle was attacked-broken leg

[Megan & Lambeau]

I feel like the worst doodle momma this evening. I took my 12 week old mini-goldendoodle for his usual afternoon leashed walk and we saw another leashed dog being walked by a friend in my business complex. The vet has been encouraging me to begin socializing and we've been doing that alot over the past few weeks and Lambeau, my doodle has been doing great!. The dog was fine and then we turned to go back to my office and the other dog attacked Lambeau out of nowhere! He was a beagle/terrier mix. He bit him 3 times which one of the bites in his leg cursed his bone to break and then he latched himself onto the back of my doodle's neck and I physically was pulling the dog off my Lambeau. long story short Lambeau is in the ICU this evening awaiting surgery for his leg tomorrow. Good news is there is no spinal damage and he is being pumped full of antibiotics to resist infection. Have any of you experienced anything like this or a broken leg in a small puppy? What types of things should we be looking at in terms of recovery?

I was attacked by two pitbulls while on duty when I was a cop. It went from okay to two dogs on my legs in a split second- Could not shoot as there were kids and people & homes  all around me and after the first three bites to my legs and I struck one by hand they both ran into a wooded area. Our animal control got one later that afternoon and the second was hit by a car crossing a highway. Needless to say this goes to show everyone- dogs can attack in seconds with little time to react. 

Until I know a dog I am hesitant to let my dog(s) get too close, or at a minimum ask their owner nice but directly, to keep control of their pooch
