OUCH!!! He got me! Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, a dog will bite. If you do suffer a bite, get to water and wash the wound immediately. This will decrease the chance of infection. Seek medical care as soon as possible.
If it was your own dog that bit you, confine it and call your Vet to check your dog's vaccination records.
If someone else's dog bit you, contact authorities and tell them everything you can about the dog, including owner's name (if known), color, size, and breed of dog, where the incident took place, circumstances leading up to … (17 comments)

OH NO!! Here comes Butch, and he doesn't look happy!
There are usually warning signs before a bite occurs, but these can be very subtle and might be missed. Signs that the dog is telling you "I am nearing the end of my patience" may include:

He looks at you with a pleading expression.
He yawns, licks his chops, suddenly starts scratching, or licking himself when you're approaching or interacting with him.

It is their natural instinct to protect their belongings. Their resting place and your property are also its possession. When it comes to children, the dog considers itself dominant.

dogs: Puppy Love, Or Is It? - 03/12/08 07:24 AM
About 6 months ago, a family purchased a house on the same block as I live on. Their back yard runs with mine, with a privacy fence between. With them, came the most adorable little poodle mix puppy. He was sweet as could be, very playful, and just melted my heart everytime I saw him outside.
