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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 :

Should be the emotional distress the owners put on the poor dog. Chained ?! People are despicable.

Definitely say that you are the one who suffered emotional distress. Say that you are now afraid of dogs.

That's so wrong, the dog came off the property and attacked you while you were only jogging by. The owners should be paying for the stitches their dog caused along with having the dog put to sleep. If anyone is taking anybody to court it should be you taking them, no way they can surely win & their stupid for trying.

its true (in texas) a dog that bites a person must be put down. sue the shit outta them for their dog biting you. They are the ones who will lose in court and may even be fined for a frivolous law suit. I'm a cop btw.

Counter-sue. Your neighbor be paying your hospital bills, your lawyer, and all your court costs. The dog will be put down, and your neighbor will be fined for keeping a dangerous animal. ******* morons with their huge-ass vicious dogs. There's a difference between an animal that's kept for protection and a dangerous poorly-trained beast. I don't know how old the OP is, but I assume he's at least an adult. If it had been a small child running down the sidewalk the day that chain broke instead, this story could have had a much more tragic ending than just "FML." OP, your life isn't completely ******. While it sucks that you incurred injuries, at least now you have a chance to do some good and make the world (at least your corner of it) a little safer for kids and joggers.
