Dog!

[Catrin]

Edit: when I read about your dog bite earlier this summer, I thought what you did sounded about right. May have worked better to stay and take charge of the situation, but its owner was there and it was biting you. Possibly being protective? I'd want to get out of there, because it was probably something hinky in the dog/owner relationship that caused the bite to begin with.

Thanks for this Murienn, I did what felt right at the time, but have wondered about my approach. I know next to nothing about dogs, haven't had one since I was 8 years old...
