[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted many times on dcum but my then 4 year old son was attacked, knocked down and bitten in the face and neck by a neighbor’s OFF LEASH dog on OUR property (steps outside our front door). The aggressive dog was a Brittany spaniel, the family dog.

DS had 7 stitches on his face, and was mms away from needing plastic surgery. It was such a traumatic event for DS that he developed phobias of cats and dogs AND hs to take a tranquilizer before most all blood draws, medical procedures. DS is now a young adult.

Regrets? I have a few. One, that I didn’t kill that dog (I missed the attack by seconds) and two that I didn’t sue my neighbor. The stupid neighbor/owner had previously let her dog outside to roam the neighborhood.

Turns out, a week prior to attacking my son, the same dog while roaming “nipped” another child while she played in her yard. This girl’s mom mentioned this incident to me well after my son was bitten and said she didn’t want to make waves, or make things awkward with the neighbor.

And although a “minor” attack, this event was traumatizing for our family.

I’m sorry your child went through this. If it were pit your kid would likely be dead. All dogs can bite and larger dogs can certainly do some serious damage. [/quote]
