[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any update, OP?[/quote]

I did go to urgent care and received oral antibiotics and a tetanus shot since I had a puncture. Glad I did bc next day it got red and swollen but has since subsided as meds kicked in. I’ll never assume a dog quickly coming at me just wants to say hi again. I’ve heard so many times in this scenario to offer a hand to let it smell you so it was kind of reactionary. Never again lol. Pretty dumb looking back.

Someone asked if it was just playful and nipped - no unfortunately the dog was not happy and latched on. Guy said he’s a rescue and gets scared of people sometimes. It was a very scary experience that could have been way worse. [/quote]

"He's a rescue and gets scared of people sometimes" to me means the owner was careless. He needs to never let his guard down (like turning around when another person is around) when walking this dog, and ideally should get it a muzzle for all the scenarios people are mentioning with kids. What if it's a kid riding a bike and it startles the dog? Or a toddler in a stroller with arms waving around?[/quote]
