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

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

I would have punched him in the face...

You need to report him and the dog. Imagine if it had been a child that this dog had attacked! It will attack again. Sounds like it has before judging by the owners response!

Go to the hospital OP and report the dog. It will be seized and if there are multiple reports of attack with the dog it will be put down. I was attacked when I was 6 and the dog that attacked me had multiple animal attacks against it and when it finally attacked me it was seized and put down by animal control.

A jogging track is not a dog park. That dog owner is a dumbass. The owner should know dogs are hard-wired to chase anything that runs. When I'd go jogging I would slow down to a walk if I see a dog that is not on a leash. However, if a dog (or it's owner) attacks you; you are allowed to defend yourself. A throat-punch would do wonders as an attitude adjustment.

Strict liability.

yep...would've sued that guy...

That sucks op I hope you ripped their throat out.

Report the bloody thing! And sue the owner, that will shut them up!

I get so frustrated with some dog owners!!! Clearly that dog should be wearing a muzzle while out for walks. Fortunately you don't have to pay for medical care if required. I would definitely contact the police. This type of thing happens way too often...

I'm sorry man that was yours
