[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for all of the quick comments.

More details to answer questions & more that have come up:

- a police report was filed (and animal control called in by police).  Police were contacted by school (incident happened for during practice for a school sport).

- my son was running in a residential neighbor which is part of the running route for the team practice. He was across the street from the dog owners house on sidewalk.   When he first saw dog it was running towards him from where it was being walked by someone (who turned out to be owner’s 20 year old son) without a leash.

- no leash law in our town (surprised me!) but dog required to under owner’s control

- dog owners son called out the name of the dog when it jumped up on my son but did not run after him or contact the school to see if my son was ok.  Dog owner’s son claims he didn’t realize my son was hurt.  May indeed have been the case.  My son says he was crying as he ran away from dog (he was embarrassed about crying) but I can believe he wasn’t making as much noise as he thought.

- dog bit my son first on forearm (he put up his arm reflectively when dog lunged at him) and then jumped again at his back thigh but no puncture (just a scrape) on thigh. [/quote]
