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 :

Go to the police - she will be charged and the dog put to sleep as it should be. And sue her for the medical bills.

WTF is wrong with your neighbor? damn. go get yourself a pit bull or something and let it loose on HER and see how she likes that.

Please don't stereotype dogs. Pit Bulls are no more violent by nature than other breed, ignorant people abuse and train them to be violent. There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

If you have Homeowners or Renters insurance, call your insurer immediately. A large part of your policy involves handling and defending suits like this. The only catch is that your particular problem may or may not trigger coverage this time around (generally it's for if you hurt some else or break their stuff). It just depends on what you have in your particular policy. But call them ASAP, since part of having coverage is that you're obligated to let your insurer know immediately if you're sued so they can be involved from the start.

I'm a huge dog lover, but here in Australia that dog would be destroyed, it's the owners that would be sued, laws might be different here but we don't have to pay people if we get bitten by their dogs

tell her if she sues, you'll have the bitch put down ... and maybe the dog too

**** their "emotional trauma" claim. The dog attacked you; where I come from, that means it gets put down, and they have to pay your medical bills to boot. I'm pretty sure that applies to Missouri, too.

Poor doggie.

That's bull. You could have the dog put down for attacking you if you wanted. There's no way she'll successfully sue you.

I think they are just trying to scare you out of suing them, which you should do for medical bills
