The culprit has been nabbed
A week after I got bitten, the local ranger from the council came around and took a statement from mum about the attack. He also took a photo of my bottom. He said he’d try to find the dog and its owners, and he asked mum if she’d be prepared to go to court.
Now, another week later, the council man rang to say that they found the doberman who bit me.
The dog wasn’t registered, so they are going to fine its owner. The man who was with the dog when it attacked me admitted the attack, and they’ve written out a cheque to cover my medical costs.
Mum’s still got to talk with the council man, and there may be a court case. But for the most part, the saga is over.
My bottom is healing up well, though it will probably take some time for my hair to grow back. Mum’s still a bit scared of taking me for walks, but I’m pretty cool about it now. She’s on holidays at the moment, so I’m hoping to get lots and lots of walks and rides in the car.
