Only ever been bitten by 2 dogs before. One was on the face when I was about 6. A teacher's Maltese at nursery school while I was waiting for my mom to fetch me after work. It nipped me on the nose because I was playing a little too boisterously with its ears. Completely my fault, even though it hurt like a bitch.
Second time was a friend's Maltese. It grabbed my ankle. Luckily I hoofed it one with the other foot and it learned its lesson.
Had one close call with two Pitbulls actually. It was in the rollerblading days. I was maybe 11 or 12. Rollerblading down the street and these two pitbulls just jump the wall and start pacing it at me. Luckily they were the ankle and hamstring types and I was pretty adept at skating at this point. So I just kept on going and the only attempted bit happened to be on the hard plastic. When dog number 1 didn't get a hold on me, dog number two gave up and they both ran back home.
I am almost certain that I would have been completely wrecked by those two pitbulls had I fallen down.
