Go buy some colloidal silver and deal with your injury, you’ll be alright.

Not that long ago, dogs were never secured. They however were trained.

What did you do to piss off the dog?

I know a kid that was walking down the road delivering papers.

I guess that pissed off a mean one enough to attack and bite him. The dog was not supposed to running free on the streets. The owner opened the door and the dog ran out and bit the kid.

Hence the popularity of pellet guns back in the 50’s!

I Obviously wasn’t there, but I’m guessing he passed through the dog’s field of view. With some dogs that’s all it takes. That’s why i carry a baton when I go for a walk in the neighborhood.

A LOT of dogs have unrealistic conceptions of their territory. Our own controlled little dog is harmless but barks when the people across the street are working on the front lawn or moving cars around.

My Canadian sister-in-law who has a compromised immune system was badly hurt on a walk when a small ankle biter went across the street to bite her. Worse, when she called the police and they went to check if the dog had been vaccinated, the dog owners got the dog vaccinated after the bite but in anticipation of the police. So, my sister-in-law had to get rabies shots.

The same bad dog owners continued to not restrain the dog. The dog charged again, this time my sister-in-law was accompanied by my ordinarily mild but athletic brother-in-law. He kicked the dog clear across the street this time. The owners were mad at my siblings-in-law, and the dog had to be euthanized. No shortage of bad dog owners, and that dog had a bad end because of it.

But in my day it was not only legal but an obligation to shoot an unsecured dog that was making trouble. My Dad killed one almost every year on our farm.

I can't say I HATE dogs, but I'd never own one. Too much time spent managing their behaviour. Cats potty-train themselves. Cats don't roll in gut-piles. Or eat shit. Cats never tangle with skunks. Or get bitten by rattlers. Cats never need to be bathed. They never attack the neighbors or their pets. They keep my house 10% free of mice.

I could go on......
