This Morning I was out to go get my mail at my mailbox, it is about 1-2 houses away. The neighbors across the street have two large dogs. They are always off the leash. Well they are both outside apparently, as I didn't see them until they came at me, no owner in site and they come charging at me, growling and barking, I was scared out of my mind! One turned away but the other one got my leg and kept coming at me and I guess maybe I was screaming and crying so loud, it ran back home. The neighbor then closed his garage door, didn't even come see if I was okay!
My DH came out cause he heard the screaming and called the police, the fire dept came, cleaned it up said I should be okay since I just had a tetnus shot 2 months ago. It is pretty much a puncture wound and is pretty swollen and really sore! Animal Control came. They weren't going to take the dog because no prior complaints, but since his rabies was expired, they took him. He is quarantined for 10 days and then the owner can reclaim him, but they said he may not. The most upsetting thing for me is, I usually have my 8 year old go get the mail, while I wait by the door as he LOVES to do it, but he was still sleeping, so I did it. I just THANK god it wasn't him, and it was me. It was the most frightening thing I have experienced in my life. I can't even stop crying about it
