When i was a young kid my mom and i where over at someones house visiting them. I remember going outside and walking near their garage and i saw a dog in there chewing on a bike tire. The moment the dog spotted me it snarled and proceeded to run me down and attack me. The dog only managed to bite my hand before the owner came out of the house and got the dog under control. My hand had a scar in the middle of my palm from where one of the dogs teeth sunk in. I had that scar for many years until it eventually went away. That was the only real notable animal attack i ever really experienced and i want it to be my last. No telling what that aggressive, territorial dog could have done to me had i been completely alone.
