Richie10 345 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 My dog put a cut like that through a guys nose, just like a razor. The guy approached my wife at night, the dog was barking at him and he bent down to stroke him. The dog hit him in the face with an open mouth and still did that to his nose. I didn't get charged as the dog was in control the guys wasn't, we believed he was very drunk and wouldn't admit to it. The guys nose was fine in the end with no scars. Hope you heal well mentally and physically, but one thing you have to remember is that animals are never predictable and putting your face or young children with them could always cause a problem, whatever animal. What happened exactly? Get well soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Did the dogs claws do that? Been bitten a few times when i trained manwork dogs but its to be accepted as a career risk Always shook me up and hurt but the only was to get over it for me was to get that dog back on the sleeve/suit straight after Sister had a Bearded collie grab her by the face an shake her like a rat as a baby and she had her eyelid and side of nostril stitched on afterwards but she was fine as she grew up. It affects people diferently so good luck, stay poitive and keep going to your couselling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simoman 110 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I was set up on by my aunts delux dog when i was about 8 yrs old. i managed to keep it away from my face - neck till my aunt pulled it off me, it seemed like ages. A scary experience that i forgot about after a month or two. It never put me off dogs as most are fine. It took 6 injections to put that dog to sleep. Goodluck with your recovery and you will now probably have an inbuilt intuition when you come across dogs that are not so friendly. You just tend to sense something aint right and act acordingly. If a dog did that to one of my kids i'd of put it to sleep with a size 11 stell toe capped boot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ive been bitten many times as a child and adult mostly my fault though..the worst was when i was 4yr old a german sheperd jumped over a garden gate and latched onto my head..luckely my dad was with me and i only ended up with a few stitches in my forhead.. I must say though after all the times i have been bitten it has not made me scared of dog's you just have to give them a little bit more respect and never totaly trust strange dog's..

PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 You can trust any dog, even the aggressive ones, as long as you know what you're doing and the warning signs. Very rarely does any animal not give off warning signs that they're unhappy but most people can't read their body language so things happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he meant you can predict them,or trust that they will do a certain thing. like you can trust an aggressive dog to bite your face if you try and kiss its nose.

PlasticJock 539 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 What I meant was that if you know it's aggressive then you should know how to act. If you don't know the dog then you should know how to act. If you don't know how to act around an animal then don't go near it. I've handled aggressive dogs a few times, most of them with idiot owners, but have never been bitten. The only time I have been was as I said when I was younger and didn't know as much as I do now. So if I had an aggressive dog I'd be comfortable living with it and trust it because I know how much excercise to give, how to act around it, where to draw the line, how to punish etc etc. Also it's nothing like your ''Yob'' scenario - you know he is going to stab you, but just because a dog is aggressive doesn't mean they will bite anything within range, they usually have a reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
