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?
