But - just one big bite, not an attack. I think if it had been a pit bull the instinct may have taken over and it would have kept attacking. Or - the one bite from a pit bull would have been much worse.
It was out in the country, and the only guy handy with sutures was a veterinarian and he stitched her up on his kitchen table while others held her down.
Meanwhile the dog's owner put the dog down immediately to prevent any further problems.
I had a female German Shepherd that was great with my kids but she was squirrelly around people she didn’t know. We came home from a weekend trip and she was locked in our yard. Neighbor said she bit a friend of theirs thru his jeans. She didn’t like that the guy was talking to the neighbors wife and went around behind him and bit him.
Had to have her in 10 day quarantine for rabies and after that, took her to the vet and had her put down. Vet said it was the smart thing to do as the next bite gets you sued. Talked to the guy’s wife about reimbursing him for any doctor’s visit, shots etc. and told her I was going to put her down. She got pretty upset and my neighbor said they had a couple Chows that had bitten people and did nothing about it. Guess she thought I overreacted.
