Today, I was bitten by a therapy dog. FML
queengarmin tells us more.
OP here! Just to clarify, I didn't intentionally antagonize him and he didn't intentionally bite me. I was playing with my neighbor's retired therapy dog, and whilst trying to pull a toy from his mouth, he chomped down on my finger. It was most definitely an accident, and though it hurt like hell, we have forgiven each other and we're friends again. And I've learned my lesson about watching my fingers while playing with a dog.

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

Was it from horse playing with the pup, or antagonizing it (with or without provoking it)? Huge difference

It's because people are selling jackets online, so people pretend their animal is a service animal. Service and therapy dogs are over $50 000 and are trained to pay attention to no one but the owner. Therapy animals are trained to not have a temper but their handler needs to be close by (they're the ones who didn't make it as a service dog). A person can't just declare their animal to be one without proper documentation. They're the reason it makes life hard for people who have real disabilities who actually need them. They're given to you when you need it and get retired and taken away from you when they can't do it anymore.

Sounds therapeutic.

So...what exactly happened? Did you make the dog mad? Or did the dog just bite you for no reason? How serious exactly is this bite? Sorry for the questions. Please have a follow up. :3

actually #32 you can just go online & order a vest & all the id's. No special paperwork needed & it is illegal in the U.S.A. to ask someone for their paperwork. All they have to have is the photo ID for the service animal clearly visible on the animal itself. A friend of mine has done this for years & has flown all over the country w/o incident. I don't have the nerve to pull this off & refuse to go with her if she brings her dog.

There is no law in the US that says your animal must be trained or registered. There isn't really any documentation required, and in fact in the US (and Canada the last time I checked) it's not legal to ask for proof that it's a service animal.
