Thank you okayyeano!!!! I really appreciate your post!
this is what the bite looked like initially. It was on my back where I couldn't see it. I just didn't see a mark. When I took a shower after I reported it, I then saw my hip - the bottom part of the bite. It progressively got worse.
I stopped and turned and yelled "your dog bit me". She started walking toward me and I told her to stay back that I didn't want her dogs near me. I looked and did not see a mark and then yelled at her to control her dogs. I was just so shocked that it even happened. I run all the time and have passed hundreds of dogs and never has this happened. I regret not getting her information, but again, I did not see the mark and it all happened so fast. So, huge regrets on my part, but I really was trying to be cool about it too.
It is too bad there are trolls on here because those dogs are at the face level of small children and while it is unlikely they have rabies, they can endanger others.
With all that said, I live in another state. I was just there visiting. I didn't realize this was such a big deal because I have had BOTH state health departments call me and BOTH have told me to get the rabies series if we don't find the dog in 10 days.
I want no harm to the woman or dogs. I love dogs! If they are vaccinated, then there will be no legal action. I just want to know they are vaccinated and maybe she can take some dog classes on how to better train them.
Please help get the word out.
