Shinerider Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Damn. Hopefully, that dog has a broken nose due to a cleat firmly implanted! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I thought it just scratched me. Then I got back to my car and saw puncture marks. Also, it turns out it's rabies shots plural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Wow, that sucks. Any close contact with a dog makes me stop immediately. If nothing else I want to express my displeasure to the owners. Had a close call today, dog almost came off the leash on the street. do you have to come back for a follow up or is it one and done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Magnet Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Sorry to hear this happened. I'm a dog fan, but bad owners suck.Agree with this. The dog owner is really the one at fault here. The dog is just being a dog and just like people, some dogs are assholes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great way to spend a sunday for sure. They're lucky you're taking it so well. Props Edited March 29, 2021 by ATXZJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Bug Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Yes, it's a series of shots. So sorry to hear of this; I've heard the shots are no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) It really wasn't too bad. Took maybe 90 minutes total? The nurse said she took the medicine out of the refrigerator as soon as I called, so it didn't particularly hurt. Everyone at the ARC far west was extremely nice. She said rabies shots are body weight dependent, and a guy recently needed 12. The moral of the story is if you get bit, stop to check damage and then if the dog has an up to date rabies tag.

natas1321 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I've been bit before years ago and I don't blame the dog, it's just dogs being dogs. Like the others have said I do blame the owner, and especially them having their dog off of the leash knowing that particular dogs behavior.

I thought you were suppose to take the head of the suspected animal in to be tested. Yes, I'm kidding. But just barely. Did the dog not have an owner with it? Just a rando dog out biting people? And I agree, dogs are great, it's people that suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
