« on: May 08, 2009, 12:19:40 pm »
A few weeks back i was attacked by a customers dog in front of the customer it only ripped the jumper so no real harm done apart from a racing heart
Just got a cheque from them with an extra £10 as an apology result!!  the jumper only cost £4 from Matalan  ;D

This dog is usually in its pen going mental but this particular day it wasnt so i asked the customer if it was okay to come in then i heard those two famous phrases 'it wont bite you' quickly followed by 'its never done that before'

I went to a new place once, farmhouse big place, opened the gates to get round and im there working away, i hear "the dogs! the dogs are out!" theyd left them out and id opened the gate without realising.

Went round the front and theres a alsation and rot wiler there, theyre shouting them so i was like "come on"

They come bouding over and the owner walks off, they take a shine to me come over growling, i turn my back hoping they walk off, the rot wiler bit my leg, i crapped my pants, pushed him off, then the other leg, then my arm and was shaking my arm about, im pretty strong but i could not push him away, the owner shouted them and they ran off...no apology, nothing, i said "your dogs just attacked me", "yeh he's naughty like that"  ::)

I've only been bitten once by a dog and that was one of those sausage dogs...took a bite at my ankle. I had jeans on at the time and it's poxy little sausage-doggy teeth couldn't penetrate the canvass. Luckily for poxy-little-sausage-dog it's owner was in the garden at the time or I would have booted it over the garden fence. Why not?...it's shaped like a rugby ball ;D

I was bitten by a dog I hadn't ever seen, in two years of cleaning the customer's flat. They'd just moved to a house and I cleaned their windows for the first time. They were out so I put a slip through the letter box and POW, the little buggar got me, right across my fingers.  :'( :'(

I told the owner in the evening when I collected and she said, " He had the postman yesterday too."  :o :o :o

I don't clean their windows any more  :( :( :(
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

Its crazy it almost seems like people with dogs dont give a S if there dog attacks you,
you could have the dog taken out for that.

In my humble opinion, if dogs start to attack people, they need to be put down. Next time it's a little kid. No way, an animal is an animal even if it's man's best friend. After a dog bites they will do it again.

Okay, I partially agree on that. What happened to me is, I called on a door, dogs jumped out, one almost got me in the sensitive parts. No warning. For all we knew it could have been two kids selling cookies. Protecting? Not too sure about that. A lot of the times dogs like that behave exactly the same way on the street when being walked. Some dogs are just loose cannons, that just go off without warning.

Trouble is the custie didn't ask the dog if it was alright :) Learn from it, if a dog is out and about then ask for it to be shut in. If they won't, it's then your choice to clean or not ;)
