Did You Ever Get Bit By A Dog?

Yes I have been biten by a dog. When I was about 6 I was at the baby sitter house and her friends came over with their dog. I was sitting in the chair watching television and it jumped up in the chair and bit my arm, on the inside by my elbow. I had to go and get 6 stiches. I still have the scar from it. I was so afraid of little dogs for some time after that since I have no idea why the dog bit me. I wasn't doing anything at all except sitting down.

Fortunately I have never been bitten by a dog. But occasionally the dogs will bark at me as I am a stranger. I am scared of that as I am afraid to be bitten. My family tells me if a dog barks at me, and I shall bend down and pretend to pick up a stone. Then the dog will be afraid and run away. I haven't tried it yet. As my first response is the run:) I love China

Hi There, That is too bad that you had to have that experience. I think it certainly illustrates the point that even with pets you just never know what they will do. I have been bit by a dog before as well. I was on a run one day and a German Shepherd came out of nowhere and attacked me. I ended up fighting him off before his owner ran out to get him. I too ended up getting some stitches. cheers,

Yes i was bit when i was 12 yrs old. I had a paper route that i always went out to do on my Bike. There was a house that i passed and the kids use to tease me and tell the dog to attack me..of course it never did cuz they had him in the fenced yard. However one day i was riding by, and here comes the dog (the kids werent aroudn) he got me on the right side of my right leg and went tore right through my pant leg. I somehow managed to get home and when i got my aunt to take me back to the house to let them know what happened noone was home and the dog wasnt in the yard or in the house from what we could tell. So since we didnt know i the dog had its shots, i had to go to the E.R and get checked out and possilby get the shots, but we ended up getting in contact with the owners and he had his shots thankfully. I was afraid of dogs for many yrs after, big small or in between. Now they dont bother me so much, but i still think back to that every now and then.

yes i was bitten by a dog when i was in grade 5..it really doesn't matter to me..fortunately..i didn't get any traumatic reactions about dogs..proven by my lovely pet dogs..

Yes, I was bit once. There was this little dog that would jump over his fence and attack passersby. I reported him because he was terrorizing my daughter as she walked to school. One day I was walking by when the dog jumped his fence and attached himself to my leg. He didnt bite too hard, but it broke the skin and I had to get a tetanus shot. The dog's owner was amazed, because this time he had seen it happen. He apologized and made sure the dog never did it again.

yeah I got bitten by my neighbor's dog when I was around 10 yrs. old. My playmates and I are running around and then I ran as far as I could to the point that I reached my neighbor's house where they had a sinister dog who almost bites everyone he sees. Unfortunate of me, I was one of them and I was bitten in my buns. It really hurts!

i have a small dog and she bite me years ago.cos she was not familiar with me at that time, and now she is quite cute and clever ,even if i put my hand into her mouth ,she won't bite me.and i never touch other dogs.after all, dog is animal,you don't know whether he is in good mood(if it is not belongs to u )

Yes i got a dog bite once and i also go a very bad infection on my leg and arm where the dog bit me

I went to go visit my Husband's Uncle. He had a cute little chihuahua. I leaned down to pet him because he was just so cute. As soon as my hand got near him he bit me! He was sooo viscious for being so tiny. I was so shocked, that tiny little dog scared the crap out of me.

No till now i never got a bit from the dogs .But i have lot of experience of dogs chasing me

Once but that was in childhood and it was my neighbors dog.

yeah,when i was about 10.I could`NT help not to laugh every time i remember it because the dog chase me around the jeep, i was running around the jeep circling and circling, hahaha. Anyhow the dog still catch up me and bit me at the leg, waaaa huhuhuhu. I never told my parents about that, because Im afraid they get mad, they already told me to never get out at the house that day, but still I did.. waaa bit me.

Unfortunately yes. I used to volunteer at a dog shelter and after I had cleaned out their pens I used to take each dog out into an exercise yard to play. The staff there had placed dogs together that were compatible; and some dogs were alone in a cage. What I was NOT told by the staff is that one of the dogs did not like having a lead put on them; so when I tried to put the collar and lead on the dog to take it for exercise it of course went ballistic and attacked me. It bit me all over my legs mainly and if I had not of had jeans on it may have been a lot nastier than what it was. The worse part was having to get tetanus needles etc at the Doctor's office rather than being bitten itself! Thankfully I didn't need stitches like you did but it was still a bit of a scare for me and made me realise first hand how unpredictable dogs can be.

Yikes, I was also bitten by a dog when I was in college and it was really painful, we went to the doctor and I have a few shots of the anti rabbies.

I have'nt got bit from dogs. I am afraid when pets like them are not mine. I usually avoid it. I love dogs but I do not play with them when they are off guard. They have the tendency to be wild when owners are not around and will attacked strangers. They protect home from what they seem stranger to them.

When I was 4 I fell out of the swing I was on and accidently landed on the neighbors dog who was sleeping. The dog bit me on the hand pretty bad, and the doctors were afraid they might end up amputating four of my fingers. Luckily they are fine and I don't even have any scars. When my son was 16 he cut thru someones yard and their dog bit him on the butt. I was out of town at the time and told him how to handle it, who to call etc. I then bought him a pair of underwear with a dog's but picture on the back side of them. I used paint and drew a bullseye on the back with the words "bite me." LOL He didn't see the humor in the situation. Dogs are animals, and can be unpredictable. I have three dogs and rarely am ever scared by any dog.

I was once bit by a dog when I was in high school. It happened one morning on my way to school. I took that path every day and had met that dog many times. He was a very small dog, kind of cute. I did expect him to bite me. However on that day he did it. At first he was just following me, sniffing my legs. I did't take that searious and yelled at him. And then he got angry and bit me on the leg. Of course I had to skip that day's classes and went to hospital instead. Anyway it was not a happy experience.

I have been bit by a dog when I was about five. I had spilled some chips on the floor and our dog started to eat them up off the floor. SO I went over and started to pull on his tail. Man he turned around and bit the crap out of my eye. Had to get a butterfly on my eye.
