Hard to tell from photo. I was bitten by a black lab that got out of his invisible fence and came exploring. (Happened in Wa st.). I was working in the yard and had a rope in my hand. When Max saw the rope he got excited and wanted to play tug-of-war. Caught me by surprise and bit my hand pretty well. Lots of blood and torn skin. Called Max's owner and when she saw my bloody hand she was shocked that her sweet Max could do something like that. Told her don't worry worry. Max is just young and overly friendly and could someone even if he is just playing, so if she is going to let him out in the yard be watching him very closely to be sure he doesn't get out again. Max brought me some homemade cookies as an apology later. Max bakes great cookies and we became friends.
Moral of my experience is even nice dogs can hurt people. Owners need to be always aware of where their dog is and what they are doing and be prepared for when/if the unthinkable finally happens.
