I met a dog pack today (of like 60) and before I had a chance to do anything, I was surrounded by them all. Most were okay and were just barking or trying to jump on me. Then, the alpha came and gave me a nice bite in the arm. After they got used to me, they were okay, but that didn't make it hurt any less. Have you ever gotten bitten? What were the circumstances around the bite? Just curious, I suppose.

I have never been bitten. I would be curious as to where you live, what transpired to get you into this situation and what you did following it.

Lol. It's my job. I got hired by a doggie daycare place and it is no cages. The lady warned me that the dogs would try to challenge me, which I wasn't worried about because I've trained dominant/aggressive dogs before. I didn't think I would get bitten, but it's all good. Since then, Alpha dog has learned to respect me and only barks at me a bit when I come in.

No, i've never been bitten by a dog. A bite from a dog is so deadly. When i meet a dog, i won't move. I know only if i keep still, i am safe.

I was also bite by a dog. But it was a small dog. When I was in northern, I hired a house. I studied and worked in my house. One day, I walked out my house. Suddenly, I saw a white dog sleeping near my house. He was so lovely that I touched him. He was awaken and crazy. I took no notice that I was bite by him. There left a red trace in my leg. I was a little worried, because canine madness was serious. At last, I did not go to hospital.

oh yeah i have been bitten twice by the same dog. luckily, i got safe and just need 1 shot and the dog doesnt have rabies. when i was a kid though, i got bitten by my puppy. she bite me in my eyelid and it was just bad. i got scared my parents would scold me so i went straight to the bathroom and washed my eyes with soap and water. then i just opened my eyes without even blinking. surprisingly the wound just closed right away. i didnt mess around with my puppy after that. also i dont want my parents to get rid of my puppy

I was bitten on the wrist by my pitbull. I was taking her out one day and had her by the collar so I can put her in her pen outside. As I was going out the door I went to close the door behind her. Well I got her paw caught in the door right between the pads of her foot. As a jerk reaction she tried to run but I had hold of her collar. So she turned her head and bit me. Well I did let go of her collar opened the door and she ran back in the house. I had puncture wounds on my wrist from her. She felt bad and followed me around the house for a week with her head down and tail between her legs.

When I was very young, I was chased by a Dog. I was damn frightened and ran and do not know how I escaped from being bitten. After wards, I used to be disturbed in sleep and get dreams of being chased by group of Dogs. Even today, I am scared of Dogs on roads and when I go for morning walks, I try to be very careful.

I can remember when I was little I was bitten by the dog of our neighbors. I was staying at our neighbors home after coming home from school. They have 2 very large dogs and they certainly don't like me,haha. So when I entered their gate the 2 dogs just barking mad at me they are still very far away from me so i did not move to think that they will get tired of barking and just leave me alone. So after a few minutes of standing still on the gate entrance and I thought that I will be faster than the dogs I immediately ran to the front door but unfortunately I got bitten by this brown dog on my hip but thankfully it was not deep. I did not told our neighbor what happened. I waited until my mom picked me up from our neighbors house. Until now I am still afraid of dogs even the little ones like the toy dogs.

I get bit all the time, when i play with my dogs. LOL..I got a chihuahua so nothing serious. But I have been bitten by a rott before..that one really hurt and I got a scar on my wrist but it wasnt that bad. I didnt need to go to the hospital or anything.. but my mom did wrap it and it was ok in a couple of days. Btw the dog that bit me was my sisters puppy and he was just playing around.

I have ever bitten once four years before. When I walked with my friends in the countryside, a wolf-like dog was barking at us. I was really fritghtened at that time. Though its master had ordered it, I was bitten in my leg. Then we tried to find a injection as soon as possible. From then on, I don't like to see the kind of dogs. However, because I am very fond of little animals, I still like pet dogs.
