Have u been bitten by a Dog??

I was bitten on the hand by our golden retriever over December, right in the soft palm flesh. It was surprising how painful it was. He got me really deep, though, but it was my own fault.

The worst part was when I poured surgical alcohol over it to try and disinfect it. Yowch.
 
when I was a lighty 3 or 4 my own dog attacked me. Bit my face, still have pics of me with a big ass plaster on my face. Cant remember what happened to the dog after that. Took me most of my life to get over the fear of dogs.
 
Always! Always go jog with pepper spray. For your own safety from dogs and humans. Because I even go walk with my dogs(on a leash) and I take my pepper spray. People are ignorant they even go walk with their dogs without leashes. They don't realize dogs will always be dogs (not their sweet little "children"). And most of the time 99 percent of the time their dogs are not trained properly either. Owners are always responsible for their dogs. Pepper spray directly in the eyes and nose area. They will let go immediately. Trust me been there done that. Tetanus injection immediately. Report owners to the SPCA. If further damage sue for liability.

Shot I got legalwise I intend to use it
 
Got a smiley on my calf from our Malamute on Christmas day last year. She didn't like a family members dog and I had the bad luck to be in between them when she decided to nip at her. At first she was very contrite but by week number 2 she decided if she is going to get the blame she might as well be proud of herself for it.

It hurts like hell once the swelling sets in so good luck. I don't believe in antibiotics as a cure all, but I got a course of it in any case to be safe. Last thing you need is complications after you went through the trauma of it all.
 
I was bitten in the face by a St Bernard when I was a small kid.

He was more warning me to piss-off though.

Bitch, I will pepper you and your bitch...ROFL.
 
The fact that the dogs were out and attacked a random person is unacceptable. It sounds harsh but those dogs will need to be put down. Stray dogs do not just randomly bite people.

At one stage a few of our dogs managed to jump our wall but they would actually just sit and whine at the gate because they couldn't figure out how to get back in. They never attacked anyone outside yet they would and did attack anyone that trespassed. I remember getting a call from my old lady moaning at why I had damaged a tree in the garden, turned out some poor sod jumped the wall and tried to use it to escape when the dogs went for him. It snapped and dropped him back :D
 
It's not the dogs' fault, but the fault of irresponsible owners:
Letting the dogs out of his yard
Poor training
But, as usual, the dogs may end up paying the ultimate price. :cry:

The point is that not all dogs respond this way when they're out.
My dogs have on occasion managed to get out but it was entirely a mistake by my wife.

They didn't harass anyone or bother a sole, they just ran down the road all happy to be out and then came back.
We found then sitting at the gate after going out to search for them.

In a total opposite experience though, one of my dogs had mental issue and as she approached adulthood she started to become very strange.
So much so that one day she attacked one of my son's friends while they played in the garden.
She didn't just give him a warning either, she went after him.
My wife was hitting the dog with a frisbee trying to get her to stop.
Only I could get her to stop and by then the child had been bitten in the face.

We had no choice but to put her down.
Sometimes you need to be responsible as a pet owner.
I still miss her every day but I don't for a second think it was the wrong decision to make.
I could imagine her happy but also imagine her mauling someone to death.

But you are a responsible owner. Your dogs didn't go around attacking people even if they got out, due to good training. The owners of the dogs who bit the OP should never have let their dogs out, not even "by accident". I am willing to bet this wasn't the first incident. If your dog has a high prey drive or is inappropriately aggressive to strangers, then you make sure they never ever are placed in a situation where they can do harm. Of course accidents can happen on your own premises, but in your case, you addressed the situation immediately.

Problem with that is that only the dogs suffer by being put down. Yes they bit you but they shouldn't be out the property, that's their owners fault.

How did you get away?

They're vicious dogs and need to be put down. Next time it is a small kid walking down the road and killed.

Any do that leaves its property to attack someone in a public place needs to be put down. This rubbish about an animals life being more important than a human's needs to stop.

Please quote me where I said a human's life is more important than an animal's life. The two do not need to be mutually exclusive.

This rubbish about not knowing comprehension needs to stop.

We have a biter, male boerboel who has always displayed very aggressive tendancies towards young boys (preteen). Its been such a mission at times but putting him down has never been an option so we have gone to great lengths to secure him when we have people with kids over. My sons friends are all older now and we have no problems with him but we still remain on high alert when my girl, who is preteen, has her little friends over. Prevention is better than cure. We have a field at the end of our road, he gets walked there at midnight so he can run around and getting out accidently is also not an option, we have a lot of school kiddies walk past my house to the local schools near to us. The rewards we have gained from having him far surpass this personality trait of his and although its been an inconvenience, we wouldn't change him for anything. He is 10 now, not much time left for him and the thought terrifies my family.

But you are doing exactly that. These dogs are obviously vicious and need to be put down. This whole "but think of the doggies!" mentality when it come to these situations is wrong. They have proven that they pose a risk to human lives so you make a decision - poor doggies or poor human victims.
