Their dog, an amazing and lovable Old English Sheepdog, growled, jumped, and bit my face. I was shocked and cried, but I also bled. <br />I didn't need stiches, but the owners, who were friends of my family, didn't do anything to change the way the dog was kept. No leash, no chain, no fence. He ran free before he got me, and after. Their attitude was, "He didn't mean to do it. It won't happen again." Except with dogs, you never know.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584884625364971406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1094690689470395762004-09-08T20:44:00.000-04:002004-09-08T20:44:00.000-04:00But you are making the right point, in my opinion....But you are making the right point, in my opinion.
