Usually personal injury attorneys will consult with you for no charge. If you have to go through the pain and suffering of rabies shots, you might want to sue Grandpa for your injuries. He needs to get knocked around for this - and hitting him in his pocketbook might be the best route. Good luck.

Whoever took these pictures, another guy (standing) in the 3rd picture was having a conversation with the dog owner. There’s more here than meets the eye. What did the owner tell that guy?

I agree. There is very little maintenance that takes place other than grass cutting and refilling the bags in the canister.
Dealing with each individual Rec center is not ideal so I was hoping there was another option for raising concerns.

Look down at the right hand of the guy in the third picture. Clue

If you could identify the owner the enforcement agency would place the dog under quarantine to observe the vaccinated dog for 10 days. An unvaccinated dog would be under a longer quarantine. I would think all dogs in the villages would be vaccinated

Additionally not familiar with laws but in most counties there are designations of potentially dangerous or dangerous dogs depending on behavior. You should report the incident where the dog bit you and your dog. Perhaps the agency is familiar with the dog and his behavior. Findings could label the dog as potentially dangerous or dangerous and require that the dog no longer go to a dog park or require walking with a muzzle or some other requirement.

Good luck. See a medical professional

All this info is coming from the person who oversaw this program in a state DOH. Theses were our laws. But the laws in your county may be different. I have not reviewed them.

your laws look pretty close to the ones here. i think that quarantine law is the same, 10 days to observe signs of rabies. sadly, there is no test for rabies in a live animal--all conclusions are post mortem

I hope you contacted the police

[PugMom]

i know, right? this could turn into something ugly

Here’s a little different take on what could have happened. I wasn’t there just like the rest of you chiming in here where not there or witnessed this “unprovoked attack”. What if this poor “victim” provoked grandpa’s dog? As I am typing this a advertisement comes on my TV for a Personal injury attorney, lol. Two sides to every story. Why hasn’t the OP chimed back in on any of these posts??

[PugMom]

maybe he's been advised to keep quiet. many lawyers will tell you to get off social media

I am sorry this happened to you. Dog owner needs to take responsibility give records for rabies. At least be concerned. Your wound looks normal not a vicious bit and our old skin doesn't take kindly to sharp objects. Clean it well and use neosporin once then keep it covered in vaseline. It is important to find out if the dog has its rabies shot. I would like to know how this happened? Did the dog walk over and bite you or did you get between two dogs playing or fighting? It makes a very big difference for the life of the dog. And you. Dog owners should be responsible if you are bit no matter how they must have their shots. They should have shared information instead of running away like guilty criminals.

The owner and equally nasty friend tried to drive off without giving me any information about the dog or himself. However they were photo captured by witnesses. The cart is a Grayish Yellow (NYS4) Yamaha with the names Janice and Jack on the front.

If anyone can please provide me with any additional information on these two men it would be appreciated. I am told that if I need medical attention I will need to file a police report and they will want the owners information.

You can Private Message me through the TOV site.

Thank you.

yeah, makes it seems like a posse should be formed, complete with lynch mob

omg i'm serious!!!!!!!! You need to either find this dog and confirm it has had its rabie shots!!!!! If you can't then you must get the rabies shots!!!! Rabies is 100% fatal in humans!!!!!

If you look at the picture of the dog, you can see he is wearing a rabies tag..

It doesn't matter one bit whether the dog was provoked, the owner should not have left the scene so that it could have been determined by proper legal/medical authority as to what measures should be taken. It needs to be shown that the dog was up to date on rabies vaccination. We're talking about the life of a human possibly being threatened by an infection that if not treated early will lead to death. If the dog cannot be located, a doctor may deem it necessary for the bitten person to begin treatment for rabies, which I understand is quite painful. The biting dog owner should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Is it up to date? Neither of us know so it needs to be verified. In no way does that excuse the illegal act by the dog owner to flee the scene.
