Annoying Beagle encounter

[xeney]

Yeah, he needs to see a doctor even if the dog has had its shots. My husband got in the middle of a spat between our dog and our friend's dog, and the friend's dog bit him on the hand. It wasn't an awful bite, and she's not a bad dog and she'd had her shots, but he went to the doctor just because it was in a delicate spot on his hand and thumb and he was worried about ligament damage. He wound up on antibiotics and got a lecture about all the nasties you can get from a dog bite that results in a deep puncture wound. And even with the antibiotics it took a surprisingly long time to heal.

My niece ended up getting two rounds of IV antibiotics before it was over. She stopped to help a dog that had been hit by a car. Oddly, the dog didn't want to be helped.

Actually I was being snarky. The really odd thing was that the family the dog belonged to never said anything to my niece, didn't offer to help pay her medical bills, etc., even though their dog was out of their yard and running free. People are odd.

I had the same experience. The owner's of the dog that bit me initially denied he did it. It wasn't until there were 3 state police troopers and the dog officer standing in his driveway that he admitted the dog was running around the neighborhood. I shutter to think if it was a child who came upon that dog.

So I called the police to report about DH getting bit in the butt by the dog. The officer laughed out loud--it is pretty funny. Anyways, he's going to stop by the house tonight to interview DH about it. DH isn't going to be happy with me. He doesn't like to cause problems . . . I was hoping I could just make the police aware of it. Oh well. This is probably a good thing.

It IS a good thing. It's the right thing to do in order to prevent others from being bitten too. And also- it is not that uncommon for dogs to bite people on the behind while they are walking away- happened to a girlfriend of mine, and she found out later that the same dog had bitten others on the bottom too. It caused a big nasty bruise right through her jeans.

They should probably take photos for evidence. I think you should post them here too for educational purposes. I'm sure DH won't mind.

My old chihuahua (God rest her soul) only bit two people in her long life. both of them, on the back of the achilles tendon as they were leaving our house. I guess they were lucky she was short!
