This is where i dont know what to do. The owners took me inside and really looked after me and treated the bite and offered to bring me home, but i refused and walked back to my car to go home. Just tonight after listening to everyone telling me to report the incident i did in fact report it, but i feel guilty. now dont get me wrong, its not a scratch, the dog really went for me and my ankle was bleeding a lot, my trousers are destroyed also and today my leg still has the bite marks and is still purple and raw. I kept thinking what if it was a child walking and the dog attached it, i can tell you the childs leg would have been torn off it. That was my reason for reporting. Was i wrong or right......
