[quote=Anonymous]Here's my story. This past summer I was exiting the elevator in our building, carrying a trash bag I meant to dump on my way out. The elevator door opens, and, before I can get out, this 20-something and her dog are trying to jump in. I said: "Excuse me" and tried to wield my bag around them. Next thing I know, I feel sharp pain in my leg. Before I could figure out what happened, the woman presses the button, and off they go.

I pull my pant up and see the deep mark from the dog's teeth. Don't know what to do, I hadn't been bitten before, so I go to the leasing office in our building and say, here's what happened, looks like I just got bitten by a dog. The front desk lady says: "Do you know what apartment they live in?" No, I don't, it all happened so fast and, frankly, I was kinda shocked. So they tell me there's nothing they could help me with, since they care about their residents' 'privacy' first and foremost. I said that all I wanted to know was whether or not the dog's vaccinations were up to date, and could they please tell me who owns a small white dog in that part of the out building. Still, I was told, I was on my own there, and tough luck.

Long story short, I did end up going to the emergency care place and having to take antibiotics for a week. They thought - thank God! - that I didn't need any rabies' shots. My husband insisted we call animal control, so we did, and they came, and, basically, told me there's nothing they could do. But I was most appalled by the building management's reaction, their first impulse was to cover their asses.

Funny thing is, I had never been afraid of dogs prior to this accident, since I never provoked them in any way and knew to steer clear. But that dumb b--tch, apparently, didn't know the rules of using the elevator and her dog's leash was too long. And the bite mark on my leg is still pretty visible, and it's been four months!
