I’m fine, well I’m certainly gonna live but I’m in a lot of pain and pissed off. Was walking to my friends to watch the Super Bowl, his neighbours dog got lose. Chased me down, bit me 4-5 times, I hurt. Tried to call the cops. Cops aren’t answering the phone. My leg is bleeding and sticking to the chair, I’m angry.
This is so f***ing ridiculous. I’m mad. I love animals, always give them the benefit of the doubt. But I’m mad at everyone in this situation

F'n hell, can't you ask one of your friends to drive you to the ER? With a bleeding leg from multiple dog bites, I would.

Being chased and attacked by an angry dog has always been one of my biggest fears since I was a kid.
That's also pretty damn irresponsible on the neighbors' part letting their attack mutt run loose.

Why aren't the cops answering their phones? Chief Wiggum isn't your police chief is he? What if that dog comes across a child next? Needs to be sorted and the owners attested.

I was running through snow, and there were two times I fell and the dog was coming up on me and I was legit panicking that it was about to kill me |

Damn dude. My sympathies. Ain’t that grounds for legal action?
I f***ing love dogs. (More than hoomans sometimes) and I still avoid them on my runs.

If that happened to me, I'd have been arrested for assault for slugging the neighbor if they tried to get near me. |

I really despise when people don't socialize their dogs in order to avoid things like this. They always seem baffled when it happens too. While I don't want to jump to conclusions, many people get their pets from shelters, and while I would like to see more animals get adopted from shelters, I think many times there isn't enough information about the animal, not do they screen out enough people.
I grew up in an impoverished area, and while I'm lucky to have only been bit once, I had multiple instances where I was chased or almost bit by a loose dog.
Don't know if it's a state policy there, but I know in some areas they euthanize the dog in order to find out to verify if it's rabid.

That sucks sir.
That is why I took months to find the right route for jogging and walking. Found one where not only is there not many dogs. But the few there are eitehr are behind fences or the type that just come up to the edge of the road look at me for a minute bark and walk off.
But before I found this route had one time a neighbor's dog kept trying to follow me. At first I didn't care. Until it got close and nipped at my pants.

I’m filing a police report today. I really don’t want to, because it quite likely leads to the dog being put down and I feel awful about that, but I have friends with kids who live within a half block of that dog. It would be irresponsible of me to not document this, but I am going to strongly emphasise that I would greatly prefer the dog be re-homed to a farm to have a chance to be rehabilitated.
And I am also going to blast the local RCMP for not having any sort system for contacting a police officer outside of business hours. It wasn’t a 911 worthy emergency, but it still would’ve been nice to be able to talk to a cop last night.

For the best, as bad as you may feel about the dog being put down, you'll feel alot worse when the dog does it to a child and you did nothing. |

Sorry that happened to you dude.
Definitely file a report and get checked out.
When I was in elementary school walking to school with a group of friends some dog charged at us.
I jumped on someone’s car to get away.
My cousin tripped and fell right beside the car I was on.
Other people scattered in different directions.
Just then some lady came out and said don’t worry everything is ok.
Like hell it is!! Get your dog!
Thankfully nobody got attacked.
But ever since then I’ve had a fear of those things.
No matter small or big when I get near one I tense up.
Not a fan whatsoever!

The dog is being put down 😔
Owner told the police they had received it from a friend and had been trying to rehabilitate it but was struggling. Apparently this wasn’t the first incident, and the owners themselves are going to contact a vet and have the dog euthanised within the next 10 days. Sucks, I hate seeing a dog lose its life because it’s very rarely the dogs fault, but it wasn’t safe for that dog to be in town. I have multiple friends with small children living within 1-2 blocks of that dog.

I was in a similar situation in my teens where I did nothing and a week or two later it mauled a neighborhood toddler. |
