Title: I've just been attacked........
Post by: andyM on April 12, 2013, 01:21:48 pm
by a dog!  :o
Went to do a 1st clean on a property and noticed there were a few properties nearby that were filthy.
So I took the opportunity to door knock.
1st one............yes
2nd one.............yes
Knocked on the 3rd house along and the homeowner agreed to let me have a look around.
When I get round the back im conversing with the owner when the conservatory door bursts open and a black angry spaniel comes leaping out and clamps it's jaws on my plums!  >:(
It happened so quick that I didn't even see it coming, otherwise I would of hoofed the little b****** into the next doors garden.
It all only lasted a few seconds and the owner pulled the dog off luckily without my plums still attached to it's teeth.
The owner was very very apologetic.
I've just come home to check myself out and it has drawn blood and feels like I've been kicked in the balls. :-[

To the Doctors mate, get a jab if your not upto date
Your nads may swell up and you may be happy with their new size, but the pain.........

Don't know if I could suffer a needle in my balls, the dog's teeth were painful enough!  :-[

If it's drawn blood, you must get to the doctors and get it looked at.  Just think on that it may just have licked its backside before biting you.   That's an infection you don't need.

On further inspection the dog's teeth did not actually pierce through my clothing.
Trousers and underwear have no holes and it bit me on the part of the trousers where the seam covers the zip and goes round the underneath which is quite thick.
So I can only conclude that the small amount of blood has come from when it had clamped down it's teeth and then been pulled off.
It has just broken the skin by the looks of it.

No not been to see doc.
Will see how I am tomorrow.
I very much doubt I will consider taking the matter any further unless things take a turn for the worse.
The owners seemed as shocked as I was so I don't really blame them.
The weird thing is how many dogs would instinctively go straight for your family jewels?
It was as if this one had been trained to do it.
When I made that point to the owners they said that it was a rescue dog and they didn't know of it's situation before they got it.
But it is a bit of a handful by all accounts.
Im wondering if it was a rejected ex-police or army dog?
Little b******  >:(

The army only uses that breed as sniffers I believe mate. Maybe the owner is a joker and trained it to do that. Ah well, hope it's sorted by tomorrow.  ;)

They wont inject you there.  You need a tetanus i would imagine which will be in your arm. Take an adult with you to distract you  ;D

Seriously though if your not up to date with your tetanus and have problems, the consequences will be worse that the bite.

If you don't want a tetanus, you could always cross your fingers and hope it doesn't start to swell, go green, pussey and start to smell bad. And you'll walk like John Wayne  ;D

It all only lasted a few seconds and the owner pulled the dog off

Why reward a dog for such behaviour?

I done a job this morning and they had eleven ridge back dogs
was sh..ing my self round the back of house even though they
told me they were all caged the noise from them barking was scary.
