Aussies are usually very social, if they do nip it’s at the heel area. Something sounds off with that one.

It’s just plain stupid to be petting animals you don’t know.

When out in public, such a dog should be muzzled.

Reporting may not do any good as the dog was restrained properly and your child initiated the contact with parental approval.

My question is whether the parent involved should be reported for possible child abuse.

Me? I should be reported for child abuse? That’s a new one. Really didn’t see that one coming. Oh DCUM, never change.

If you allow a child to approach & pet strange dogs, then--as a lifelong dog owner, I suggest that you be much more careful in the future as dog breeds have very different tendencies.

But sure, what the heck, let your kid pet & touch strange dogs and handle other potentially dangerous items in the possession of strangers whom you encounter on a random basis.

We are not dog people. We were operating on our best judgment and knowledge up to that date. Obviously we are painfully the wiser now. It hardly constitutes child abuse. Your internet flame war skills are top notch, btw.

I made the post to which you replied.

Okay, go ahead and report. The dog owners can & should report you. That is how our legal system works.

In the future, be careful about letting your child engage in potentially dangerous situations.

OP: You are rude & obnoxious. You willingly let a child engage in a potentially dangerous activity and now you want to report the dog owners of a properly restrained animal ????

Tip: Google "assumption of risk".

No. I don’t want to report. That’s the gist of the original message everyone else understood. I’m asking what my civic duty is here. Y’all are just classic DCUM toxic responders, making people out to be malicious, rude, and obnoxious when trying to ask honest questions. It’s amazing.

Don’t report and don’t pet dogs who you don’t know!

This is not child abuse. And, no, and stop walking up to strangers and asking to pet the dog.

Sounds like the dog became overly excited and mouthed your child which turned into a bite. I wouldn’t report but the dog owner should definitely work on the issue.

Not op. You are a nutcase. Please tell us more about yourself.

The dog owners should be aware of their dog’s tendencies. They could have said no. I’d sue anyone who reported me to cps in this case.

Op I assume there is one nutty poster who won’t let this go. I would probably report the bite and it is not true that dogs are put down for one bite like this. The owners seemed responsible and nice but the action should be documented. We don’t know if this is a one off for this dog.

Honestly OP the pet forum is where you get the highest number of crazy posters.

Google: Assumption of risk.

If you report the dog bite, the dog's owners will report what happened regarding parental consent and assumption of risk.

Yes. They is part of why we went there - to make sure we followed proper protocol. They did not ask us to fill anything out. This is in Moco, fwiw.

In general, the urgent care should triage whether a report should be filed. In this case, it doesn't sound like a reporting case. Your child initiated contact. Both you and the dog owners used normal precaution, but the dog was still defensive and bit. This is not dog aggression, but an accident.

This is not the type of dog bite that animal control is trying to control. So, I think that they treated your child and the urgent care did not consider it the type of incident to report. I think you let it go.

Ok, if you say so. But insurance company would sure want dog owners to pay if medical bills warranted.
