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.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Was the dog having a ruff day? I'll see myself out

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

You must've done something to piss it off

#37 is correct. Asking for documentation is prohibited under the ADA. You're required to just take their word for it. You can't even ask why they need a service dog. And while most service dogs wear their vests, it isn't even required under federal law.

Hey they're animals too. Being trained doesn't exempt them from their instincts. Although whoever trained it probably needs to work harder on it.

If it wasn't your therapy dog there's a reason why it says to ask before you pet.

It's still a dog and has the capability to bite. Did you ask the person if you could pet the dog?

Apparently little to no one commenting on this FML understands that humans are generally the ones to provoke dog attacks. "No respect even from animals" shut the **** up, they'll give you respect if you give them respect. Anyways, sorry OP. Been there done that, hope you feel better!
