Right Through My Forehead!

What happened to the dog after it bit you?

You really shouldnt have been playing in the same area as a pair of dogs and especially the other one being pregnant as the male would have been very protective of her but thats too late now your parents probaly didnt realise the raw nature of canines, im glad youve had your scar treated and hope it didnt put you off dogs but i wouldnt be suprised if it did.

Hi hairylady, sorry to hear what happened to you at such a young age. What kind of reconstructive surgery did you get, and from where? I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and I have a large scar on my forehead from a car accident that occurred when I was 4 years old. I went to a few plastic surgeons in Calgary, but all of them said they would not be able to make the scar any less noticeable.



Thanks!

I jumped on my dogs tail by accident when I was four. The startled god turned around with his mouth open and his tooth caught under my eye. The scar is small but it's still there.

when i three i leaned down to pet a jack russel dog but he jumped up and bit me just under me eye. And i got my picture taken the day after too!

at least its pretty much gone now, but what happened to the dog since it bit u?

Ouuuuch, good thing you got reconstructive surgery, it is nice to forget about it but always nice to have a story to tell, you survived you are a-ok now so show it off, don't be afraid! What kind of dog was it?

If I were your mother - I would tear that dog apart limb by limb! (Granted, I would have never left you alone with the dog in the first place because I dont trust animals. I have been bitten myself.)

I had a similar experience at six. I was luckily able to have the reconstructive surgery then. My right cheek got pulled back completely and some tissue was missing. I'm sixteen now and I'm so thankful that I forget my scar is there. Some days I hate it, but some I think it's a fun asset to my looks. I'll bet yours is too!

A five yearold child should not be left alone with any animal for they are unpredictable regardless if they have not showen any aggression in the past. I don't know what your perants were thinking but it looks like you came out of it fairly good considering. I shudder to think what could have happened to you. You survived this bad exsperience now place that in your memory banks and carry on , you can live with it , alot worse has happened to others count yourself lucky and don't dwel on it.

I have to say I really did not get the impression that HL's dog was vicious at all. In fact i think it is obvious the problem lay in the placing of a five year old in a play area of two dogs, one a pregnant dam one an expectant sire. I know that dogs do not intend to harmpeople they regard as family, it is just evolutionary-impossibility for the pack species to deliberately injure it's own. Dogs are often surprised by the delicateness of human (esp face) skin. A simple dog-language muzzle-hold/pin-down can injure a human and totally surprise the dog. I'm relieved to hear you are much better now!:) What happens in the next chapter of this HL??
