Got bitten today and have had to go to hospital for a tetanus jab as been 12 years since my last one. How did I get bitten, by trying to help?
I dropped a friend off in the local park as he is taking up running... ...yes in this weather. Anyhow I was in the car park, on the phone actually dog walkers all over and a car pulled up next to me and two women (40's) and a man got out of the car with two of the most unruly/noisy/uncontrolled dogs I have seen. (honest) one was a border terrier size and coat but could have been anything as his coat was black and tan and the other possibly a parsons JR, anyhow the two dogs were on extending leads and set about rushing towards and having a go at anything that past them the two women tried to reign them in one hurt her hand on the "extending" bit of the lead because she held that instead of retracting it. a right rigmarole but everyone walking dogs were putting their dogs on leads even though these to were on leads the women or the man when he had a go seemed incapable of stopping the "rushing" other dogs. There were baying/nasty barking all the while too.
Anyhow then all hell broke loose an elderly man with two well behaved mongrels. About knee height size. He saw the women and man and put his dogs on lead although they were not bothered at all. But he was approaching the car park too. Anyhow the one woman was messing with the lead and trying to put gloves on I was in the car and had full view in front of me, she let go/lost grip on the lead and the terrier charged for the man and his dogs, for a second it circled them and the woman walked slowly over and I thought "all noise no action" about the dog then the terrier attacked the dogs....the threw/fell on the terrier not sure if he did it on purpose or because the extending lead was round his legs...he dropped the leads, and one of his dogs dashed frightened to death toward the main car park myself and a man who was walking a husky with a lady (lady and husky stayed away) tried to calm the petrified dog. With little success, the elderly man was shouting at the women. He came over to get his dog me the husky owner and the old man were talking when I saw (they had back to the women) the woman bloody well lost the lead again....now I don't think this was intentional at all but she was shaking herself but hey hold the flipping lead) the terrier rushed again. The husky owner a younger man lifted one of the old mans dogs into the air away from the terrier and the terrier got the petrified dog again....this time the old man fell over hit in the "back of the leg" by the extending lead handle. I tried to grab the old man as he went down only to have the terrier bite me...
Police were called as the husky owner and the man with the women got into and argument and the old man hurt his hands and knees this time hitting the tarmac. He broke his glasses at some point to. He was in shock and needed an ambulance.
So I have had tetanus....and feeling sorry for myself too.
