Today, while on my run, I was attacked by my neighbor's new dog. It apparently didn't like me running past their house and broke free from its chain. I now have stitches and was just told that I'm probably being taken to court for the emotional distress I caused her and the dog. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I went for a run, and my own dog attacked me. FML
Today, a dog attacked me. Its owner, instead of apologizing and helping me, said it was my own fault for making it think I was an attacker by running past them. We were on a jogging track. FML
Today, as I was walking my dog, some self-righteous animal activist berated me on how it was animal abuse to put my dog on a leash. Despite warning her, she crouched down to undo it, my dog charged at her, giving her a gash on the cheek. She kicked my dog for it, and is now threatening to sue me. FML
Today, knowing very well that I need to be more active, I went for a walk. It quickly turned into a sprint when I was attacked and chased by a dog. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, I was chased out of my own house by my wife's lover's dog. FML
Today, I completed my 6-month training program for a track competition this weekend. I went to the park to run anyways because I needed some air after my boyfriend broke up with me. After one lap, my neighbor's 130 lb dog ran across the soccer field and jumped on me to say hi. My leg is broken. FML
Today, I was walking down a path in the woods behind my house when I saw a squirrel. It ran away, but little did I know it wasn't running from me, it was running from the dog that had forced Animal Control to sweep the area. I ended up with stitches in my leg. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I was standing at our fence welcoming our new neighbors as they moved in. My 85-pound boxer thought it would be a good idea to start sprinting along the fence line so their dog would join in. He crashed into my right knee at full speed. I now have a sprained and/or torn MCL and PCL. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take pictures of your injury now, in case this goes to court after you've healed. As long as you have a good lawyer, you shouldn't lose. Still, FYL for the hassle and lawyer fees :

Sue. This is one of the easiest court cases to win, Just say. My Neighbor is crazy, I was walking by when her dog broke free of it's chain and attacked me. And now she's threating to sue me? Your Honor take a look at the obvious facts. Common sense can solve this. Oh yeah, and see if you can get the dog put down for the safety of you and others around you. Don't forget to take pictures of your wounds.

If a pet attacks you, you are entitled to damages, not the other way around! Most states have gotten rid of the "one free bite" rule, any pet attacking you is the liability of the owner! Normally I wouldn't advocate suing for one attack but if they are going after YOU for it, have at thee! This is America, getting hurt by someone is like winning the freaking lottery. Hope they took good care of their house, it's probably yours now!

She won't stand a chance in court unless you lawyer is incompetent

the hell with that, I would tell her to back the f*** up and understand that a biting dog is not acceptable and she will be lucky if she even gets to keep the dog at all plus since she failed to restrain her dog she has actually broken criminal laws

Heck no. You have a case, sue her. If an animal bites you, especially if you were not on their property, then the owner is responsible for AT LEAST your medical bills, if not your distress. It's the law.
