Got attacked by a dog this morning

[MrMuscle the return]

I would have done the same thing, actually i did.

When i was a kid, around 13-14 years i was a newspaper boy. And this one house always had a dog outside it, everyday. And it always jumped at me. It was a big ass dog too. One day it was loose, and i was trying to get the newspaper where it was supposed to be when this dog jumped and fastened its jaws around my fucking ear. So i freak the fuck out, grabs the dogs head and throw my whole bodyweight (120 pounds) on it, and we land on the ground with a large "SNAP". My ear is bleeding like fuck so i jump on my bike and hurry to the doc to get the shit fixed.

the next day there were no dog there..and there never was again. dunno if i killed it, but i didnt really dare ringing the bell and ask where the dog were.

People that let their beasts run wild need to be hogtied and whipped. Once, I was jogging thru my old neighborhood where people let their dogs run loose all the time. I carried my baseball bat with me and as I was jogging down a country road, a pack of dogs came charging at me. I started swinging the bat wildly and cussing. None of the dogs were brave enough to take the first blow. What I couldn't believe was how the stupid ass people that were outside were looking at me as if I were crazy. It was their damn animals. They're just lucky I didn't have to kill the bastards.

You should have applied your bat to the owners with glee.

Glee.

Fucked up story dude.

Moral of the story is that a human's life is way more valuable than a dog's. By a factor of about several hundred.

So if you honestly felt threatened you were in your rights to defend yourself. Decisions like that aren't rational decisions. You did what you did and that's that. Maybe a dog died. That sucks but at least you're OK.

i'm sorry i really got a kick out of this thread no pun intended...you ok? dog ok?

you made the choice anyone would do...his life or yours

 

[biteme]

how big of a dog was it?

i think killing a fucking dog for biting on your sweatshirt is a bit harsh. there are ways to deal with dogs who attack without killing them.

This coming from the same person who believes that people that want to commit suicide shouldn't be stopped because they are morally weak and a drain on society? Your priorities are a little backwards.

Interesting....I was going to point out that p0ink doesn't give a flying fuck about humans dieing. Dogs? Guess he cares about something other than money and power.

Taking pictures is a great idea. I would also try and get to a doctor...not because of the risk of rabies but for documentation purposes. Later on if you decide to sue you have documented pain and suffering. In fact, you can have the doctor take pictures for you, that makes it more official. Make sure the doctor gets your face in at least one of the pictures to prove it's you if it goes to litigation.

Someone already asked if you had witnesses...do you know if anyone else was there? You might even go ahead and file a complaint with the police department about the woman threatening you as well as having an unleashed animal.

Dont' worry about those saying you should have handled it differently. You did what you had to do to stop the attack. There is no way that you intended to kill the animal, if it is even dead. I'd like to see what the other options are in this case.

I guess he should have tried to reason with the animal. hey at least be thankful that he didn't shoot it for god sakes!

I was laughing my ass off at this thread for the first half of it. Especially when I got to the part about you hitting the tree, thus I had to bump the thing. But damn, that dog really laid into you! You didn't really have a whole lot of options since the chick obviously wasn't going to do anything about it. Glad it wasn't worse though.


But I do enjoy picturing you nearly falling off your rollerblades. I did tell you you were going to kill yourself on those things.
