Have you ever been bitten by a dog?

Maybe you should do a bit of research about those stray dogs. If there is no history of the dogs biting anybody in the neighborhood, then maybe there's no reason for you to be afraid of them.

I fainted and fell on the road when it bit me on my leg, so my mother was panicked, and she took me to the hospital immediately. And then my parents didn't investigate that dog. They simply asked the doctor to do whatever treatment he found good for me.

I have not been bitten before, but I have been chased by a dog. People always say that you should not run when a dog chases you. They have not been in that situation before though. The next instinct is always to take flight.

Was it a local dog or those hybrid ones? I rarely run from local dogs because I don't perceive them as dangerous.

I was always told that we should not run if a dog is chasing you. I have been in the situation for couple of time in the past. In that situation I have just sat down till the dog went. It mostly happened at night.

Yes that's true once you see them start showing their teeth and growling, the biggest mistake you will make at that time is run cause that's exactly what they are waiting for you to do.

Tell that to most children and girls of nowadays who will already be cowering with fear when they see a dog like that. Their first instinct will be to run, which is a very bad decision!

Absolutely, that's a bad decision but that's a reflex action we run when we are chase by a dog, we lose sense of thinking at that time.

Thankfully it has never happened although there were some close encounters but thankfully I saved myself from it

You are fortunate that you were not bitten even after having the close encounter. I have been chased by the dogs many times while driving bike and passing through the street. Yesterday only one of the stray dog was barking on me while I entered the house.

Take care then, maybe you should carry a hockey or baseball bat to scare them away or hit if they are dangerously close

I was never afraid of dogs in my youth, but until the moment when I was bitten by a dog that I had known for many years and he lived across the street from my house. He bit me when I was playing with a ball on my leg, but it was not a very serious wound. And you were bitten by a dog and where?

They are a threat especially at late night and early morning and this is why I have seen many people carrying wooden stick whenever they go for walks during these hours

Yes, I also see people carry wooden sticks when going for a morning walk in the early evening. Dogs are a threat in the dark; they normally don't bark during the day.
