Yes it was tongue in cheek. I didn't want anyone running away with the idea that I regarded my sheep as being more important than a person.

Unfortunately there are lots of poor ideas out there about dog behaviour, dominance theory etc that mean people do believe they will be attacked by a dog for no good reason.

Thanks for all the advice. I wiped the (minor) wound with some alcohol-based disinfectant. But I'll put antibiotic cream on it today. Good thing it hasn't affected my running. I just did my first ever 25 km run today.

I got nipped a few years ago. Running alongside a steam, wire fence on the other side. Yappy little thing was running alongside on the other side of the fence so I assumed it was a bit of ‘I’m safe’ bravado. But the little shit squeezed under a gap in the fence, ran up behind and sank its teeth into my Achilles. I would have booted it into the stream, but it was back under the fence before I could react. Took ages to heal, far longer than the same wounds if not a dog bite. |
