(22,205 posts)I once had a Sheltie that I used to enjoy walking (on a leash always!). One day we walked to this part of the neighborhood as I'd never been there before, a bad area with a lot of thug type folks around it seems to me.
In the distance I could see a very mean looking large black dog pacing around quickly that was working his way rather quickly towards us.
My poor old Sheltie (who was about 10 years old at that time and a timid dog to say the least) was very scared so we turned around and got the hell out of there as fast as we could.
Luckily nothing happened but I never took him anywhere near that part of the neighborhood again where there are lots of dogs running around off-leash which is illegal as hell!!
I'm sorry that you had to go through this and if I was you, I'd make sure to file charges against the owners of these dogs and also, all three of these dogs need to be put down if they are indeed so very vicious.
That could have been you they decided to go after, not just your poor dog.
I'm glad poor Milo seems to be ok (is he?). I hope that both you and your wife went to the ER being you were both bitten, that could turn into some serious stuff and it needs to be reported! Those bad dreams, I hope they don't haunt you forever!!!
