To the two young women who were walking a young German shepherd on the trail near Lawrencetown Beach 09.20 at 7p.m. I didn’t think much of the out of the blue bite your pup gave me (and thanks for your concern), until it started to bleed. On my way to the emerg. I realized, had I been child-size, that bite on a wrist would have been on the face. Get yourselves, and your dog some training quick. —Not resentful. Just want folks to be safe

The emergency room, seriously?
While my preferred method of treatment for a dog bite is a good ol’ dose of isopropyl alcohol and not the emergency room, I get what you’re saying.
People who can’t control their pets either need to (a) not have pets or (b) invest in some obedience training.
90% of the people who have dogs (and kids) should not.
You should have given that mutt a boot in the mouth. It’s not abuse when the mutt bites you for no reason first.
What’s a “shepard” the French version?
So, knowing puppies aren’t well trained, you got too close and got bitten. Shall we put him down? Maybe string him up on the trail so other the puppies get the message?
