I'm sorry to hear about this disturbing and tragic incident. However, since animals are treated as chattel or property, you can only recover economic damages and not emotional distress damages for your mental anguish. This may come as a shock but that's what the law in almost every state allows. Accordingly, it is going to be very difficult for you to find counsel who is wiling to take on this case. Still though, contact multiple attorneys in your state to get their opinions. I wish you the best of luck!
