Next time I'll kill your f***ing dog with my hands

[Strychnine]

my wife was out running errands this morning and while in our neighborhood on the way home she saw a dog wandering around. Another neighbor was walking down the street so my wife stopped to ask of she knew the dog's owner. It had tags and looked friendly (lab / blue feeler mix) but as they approached he changed his tune. He charged from the top of the driveway into the street where they were.

My wife turned to run. He latched onto her calf and took her down. She managed to kick loose and the dog ran away but the damage was done. The teeth went right through her pants and the canines sunk in at least an inch.

One trip to the ER later and here we are.

Not sure what will happen in the end other than us not paying a fucking dime for any of it.

Fuuuuuuuck. I would have loved to break that dog's neck.


This is the back of her calf.*

How are you not going to pay a dime if the dog got away?

What was the treatment? Cleaned wound and anti-biotics?

Ouch. Worst thing you can do is run away from a dog. It goes against instinct, but charge it back if it is coming for you. Sorry that happened to her, Matt.

[Leah]

DANG! Did you find out who's it was??

[Stephen]

the dog had some pit in it!

Sorry I left that out. It happened in front of the owners house. He heard my wife scream and came out. I have his info and the hospital filed an animal bite report.

Does homeowners insurance cover this? For the guy I mean.

[Strychnine]

No stitches on puncture wounds. Treatment was cleaning and dressing. Antibiotics and painkillers and dressing changes until its closed up.

Hopefully it doesn't scar too bad. I don't really mind scars because they all tell a story, but I'm sure she feels differently.

I don't fuck around with dogs even small ones. One of the guys at work almost has his wife loose her hand over a fucking dog bite and it was their dog. Infact she is still recovering from the wound which happened just over a month ago.

Dog bit her where there thumb meets the hand, while she was trying to break it and another dog of theirs up. Crushed a bone in there. It became infected and they couldn't get it stopped with anything they tried. They went in and drilled a part of the bone out where it had been crushed and told her they'd give it 48 hours to get better and if it wasn't showing signs of improvement they were going to have to take off her hand and part of her lower arm.

All kinds of problems went from there including some kidney problems something like a week or two ago. It's just been one fucked up road from one simple little dog bite to the hand. I like dogs but fuck screwing around with an aggressive one.

Shitty thing of it was she's been in school and a police academy trying to become a police officer. That dog nearly ended all of that. All that time and money spent for what could have been nothing.

Hope it all works out in the end. I hope the owner does the right thing.

There would have been a shots fired/animal dead report filed as well. Perhaps a pistol whipping report.

Tell Rachel I send my best.

In before 03trublugt tells us his dog bite story.

[Jimbo]

I have never understood people who just let their dog roam outside alone in the 'burbs. Hope she heals quick.

Same, there's an old couple who walks both their dogs without leashes everyday. Granted they are smaller breeds, but still NO LEASH?

Hope your wife heals up quick.
