Owner Attacked by Dog and Loses Arms: Was it Provoked or Out of the Blue?

[TeeYiYi]

89. There's a dog that chases me...

... and tries to bite me every time I pass the house where it lives; usually when I'm on my bike.

It looks like this dog:



I used to stop my bike and stand still, hoping to make friends. That ploy didn't work so well. The dog ran up behind me and clamped down hard on my leg. It broke skin, bled and left a bruise. Scary as fuck.

I went to the owner and told him that his dog always chases me and had finally managed to bite me; that if it would do that to me, it might do that to a child or elderly person. I showed him the bite. He told me he would put the dog down. I asked him not to, so he didn't. And I think he must have kept the dog on a leash for awhile because I didn't have much trouble with the dog after that.

Three days ago I was riding my bike past the "dog house" and it ran out more aggressive than ever toward me, barking, growling and snapping its teeth as it attempted to bite me again. I was scared to death. I pulled my legs up and tried to coast past it while screaming. I managed to kick it like a football and get away.

About an hour later, I went to visit a different neighbor and while there, she told me that she had been attacked by dog(s) as she was walking to the post office that same day. (I hadn't told her anything about my experience an hour earlier.) It was the same goddamned dog(s). (There are two of them but only one tries to bite me; the other one is old and fat.)

Guess what?... I blame that motherfucking, bike chasing, leg biting cunt of a dog. I don't blame the neighbor who owns it and should probably have had it on a leash. I don't give a shit if the dog has never been to charm school. I don't give one goddamn if that breed of dog is getting a bad rap. It's a dog that likes to attack people and gets more brazen with each episode of dogcunteyness.

To repeat my feelings from a post upthread: If my ladder breaks, I blame the ladder. If a dog chews my arms off, I blame the dog.

I haven't seen this dog for a couple of days. I suspect they must have finally put the dog down and this time, you guessed it, I don't care. The neighbor lady that this dog attacked the other day is in her 70s. Yeah, it probably should have been on a leash, but it bit me because it's a dog. It attacked the neighbor because it's a menace. I blame the fucking dog!
