Today, a dog attacked me. Its owner, instead of apologizing and helping me, said it was my own fault for making it think I was an attacker by running past them. We were on a jogging track. FML

Today, knowing very well that I need to be more active, I went for a walk. It quickly turned into a sprint when I was attacked and chased by a dog. FML

Today, while on my run, I was attacked by my neighbor's new dog. It apparently didn't like me running past their house and broke free from its chain. I now have stitches and was just told that I'm probably being taken to court for the emotional distress I caused her and the dog. FML

Today, I saw a dog trying to attack a man. I have experience working with aggressive dogs, so I pulled the dog off him and got it under control. The man punched me in the face for not having my dog on a leash. It wasn't my dog. I don't even own a dog. FML

Today, as I was walking my dog, some self-righteous animal activist berated me on how it was animal abuse to put my dog on a leash. Despite warning her, she crouched down to undo it, my dog charged at her, giving her a gash on the cheek. She kicked my dog for it, and is now threatening to sue me. FML

Today, I was walking in the park with my girlfriend, when out of nowhere, I was savaged and brutally humped into submission by a massive Great Dane. Not only did my girlfriend watch it all, but the dog's owner took the time to snap a few pictures with his phone. Neither bothered to help me. FML

Today, I was out running. All of a sudden I saw a dog come towards me, I thought it was going to attack me and I screamed like a girl in front of everyone. It was a puppy wanting to play. FML

Today, I entered my neighbors’ yard around a shorter corner than usual. Their old dog is getting a bit slow, but unfortunately only in her head: By the time she recognized me as harmless, she had already run up and bitten me. FML

You need to report him and the dog. Imagine if it had been a child that this dog had attacked! It will attack again. Sounds like it has before judging by the owners response!

Go to the hospital OP and report the dog. It will be seized and if there are multiple reports of attack with the dog it will be put down. I was attacked when I was 6 and the dog that attacked me had multiple animal attacks against it and when it finally attacked me it was seized and put down by animal control.

A jogging track is not a dog park. That dog owner is a dumbass. The owner should know dogs are hard-wired to chase anything that runs. When I'd go jogging I would slow down to a walk if I see a dog that is not on a leash. However, if a dog (or it's owner) attacks you; you are allowed to defend yourself. A throat-punch would do wonders as an attitude adjustment.

I get so frustrated with some dog owners!!! Clearly that dog should be wearing a muzzle while out for walks. Fortunately you don't have to pay for medical care if required. I would definitely contact the police. This type of thing happens way too often...
