Has anyone here been attacked by a dog?

I've never been attacked by a dog, but I came close the other day. As I was waiting for the bus at 6:30 in the morning, it was pitch black outside. My neighborhood doesn't have streetlights and hardly anyone keeps their lights on, so it was very dark.

My neighbors have a dog who is old, senile, big, and unpredictable. He gets out of the electric fence and roams the neighborhood. When I was waiting for the bus in the dark by myself, the dog had apparently gotten loose and started barking at me. Even though he's old and slow, it was dark outside, and he's a dark collored dog, so I couldn't see where he was, I could just hear his barking getting closer and closer to me. Fortunately, the owner came out to get him. There was another time, when I was in 8th grade back in 2002, I was waiting for the bus, and the neighbors out of control German Sheppard, who has apparently attacked a few people, came up to me and the other kids at the bus stop and started growling and showing his teeth at us. Fortunately the owner was there to bring him home, otherwise he would have attacked us, and this german sheppard wasn't slow or senile.

Has anyone here ever been attacked by a dog for real, or just had a close encounter?

I was attacked by a rotwieller. I was riding my bike, listening to my headphones, so I didn't hear it coming. It caught up with me and bit my leg. It had no records of any kind, so it had to be quarentined, and they were trying to decide if they were gonna give me rabies shots. Thank God the dog didn't have rabies, so I didn't have to go through that. But I did have to ahve a tetnus shot. The dog later got away and mauled a jogger pretty good. It was then put down. But I was terrified of rotties for a long time!

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every last minute of it!

I've been bitten pretty badly by three count 'em THREE maltese *beep* crosses, they're mongrels, I own a Dobe and I feel safer around him than those things.

And another time at the paddock there was a Rottie chasing the horses, he got hold of one of the legs straps and I kicked it, then it bit me, right around the lower arm, twelve stitches and a few colourful words later I was fine, still get a bit funny about dogs that roam though.

i have to say that's pretty cruel to tempt a dog to eat chocolate..considering the what would happen..and it doesn't necessary kill them off quickly..a regular milk chocolate bar would take longer then say..a semi sweet..the more cocoa in it..the more toxic..i think..you probably reassured it with a slow death...a few hours isn't really a fast death i think....food poisoning isn't fun..

but..i think that was pretty mean of you..killing somebody elses pet..you didn't mention that it even bit you..only chased you..i could probably see a reason..even though it's still cruel..if it mauled the crap outta you..but just cause it chased you doensn't mean you had to poison it..really awful..
you shoulda called the police again..they would eventually have to permentantly take the animal away from them..i've done that before..unless it was a dangerous animal..as in dangerous i mean the dog killing my livestock..or a feral hunting pack..then i bring out the gun.
i hope you don't start doing that to other folks pets..you sure wouldn't be around for long doing that to mine..that's just crazy..

Wow that was an awful thing to do. You don't even know if the dog would hurt you and yet you kill it! You a horrible person!

You can't kill a dog with a bar of chocolate!!!! It may be 'poison' to a dog, but you would need the dog to eat a huge amount to have any effect!
My dog has eaten chocolate since he was a pup, he's 9 this year and has never shown any ill effects.

[–] unknown_soul278 16 years ago

Chocolate will not kill a dog unless they have an allergic reaction to it. It will likely upset their stomach, but not kill them. I used to think it would kill them too, but I started working at a vet's office, and all 3 vets said the same thing. It is not poisonous, but it is certainly not good for them. That dog may have gotten sick from the chocolate, but something else probably killed it, or it may have been an allergic reaction. My vets told me that grapes and onions are far more toxic to dogs than chocolate.

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

When I was 8 and my brother was 5 we was at a cookout. A ROTTWHILER walked up to my brother whilst he was sitting in a chair. My brother stared it in the eyes for like 2min face to face and that ROTTWHILER went off. my brother had no shirt on and is very very skinny, with his ribs exposed the ROTTWHILER bit up the bottom of his rip cage. He has sacars...no broken bones though.

word of advice never stare a dog in dead in the eyes..their killing insticnt will active if so...

Last year, I went to visit my uncle. He recently got a divorce, so he could do things he always wanted to without "the nagging of a wife". One of those things was getting a pitbull.

So I'm in his backyard chilling when his dog somehow made it out of the house. It ran and bit my leg. I cried out in pain and it brought me down. Instead of letting it kill me, I fought back. I managed to get one leg free and kicked it as hard as I could in the face . It let go of my leg for a brief second, long enough for me to go Mike Tyson on it's ass, until my uncle came out with a golf club and had to finish it off.

My dog bit my hand when her paw got caught in a rope in the bleachers and when I went over to free her she was so scared she bit my hand pretty damn hard. My dog is a Beagle too. Not exactly an attack story but it was the first time I bled in years. My cousin though, back when he was a kid in France he was nearly mauled to death by a friend's German Shepherd in his apartment until his friend came and smacked it.

When I was 7 I was attacked by a black lab in my friend's garage. Luckily her mom came out and saved me from a horrific fate. I can't remember what happened to the dog afterwards. Another time when I was around 9 or 10 I was in another friend's backyard and got nipped by a doberman pincher. Not too bad. Then in my early 20s I had a scary encounter with a giant rotweiler which galloped towards me at a straight line without making a sound. I remembered standing my ground and putting my hand out for it to sniff me and it suddenly slowed down at the last possible moment and licked my hand! Who knows what would have happened if I panicked and ran the other way-dogmeat!?!

Never in my life but damn why do some people still own pitbulls, doberman pinchers, german shepherds or even the ones I fear and distrust the most: ROTTIES.

I had a bad experience of a Rottie in a cage all chained-up barking angrily at me. I expressed fear from the start obviously and the dog reaction's was like an ''I want to kill you right now but can't because I'm stuck in these chains''.

However, my father somehow had the courage to walk straight forwards, pass the gate without giving a damn. Strangely, the dog did nothing to him but took steps back in fear. It it wasn't for him nor the gate parking station keeper (and owner) I would have never crossed the gate and go somewhere else.
