I don't mean a dog which generally shows HA. I've never been bitten by one of my dogs, i've had 11 so far, none ever showing any HA. But have been bitten ( hand and calf) by 2 who knew me well. Turned out both were soon diagnosed w/ serious med problems. I guess I'd check out mine w/ the Vet.
But I had a conversation w/ someone recently that made me think. He's got a Jack Russell ' rescue' about 6 yrs old. He said he was rough housing w/ his young daughter one morning while wearing PJ's...the dog jumped up and bite him there, that's right. Required 4 stitches he said. I said, 'you've still got the dog?' yeah..., said he had mixed feelings because the dog was protecting his daughter....and if he brought the dog to shelter, no one would take a dog that had done that. Got to say I admire his commitment.
