  1. A junkyard dog postponed my plans. Back in February of 2006, I damaged
    my knee and was forced to stay off the unicycle while I healed. Then a
    nurse fitted me with a knee brace that was too tight resulting in
    peroneal palsy, which caused me to lose dorsiflextion in my right ankle
    (the ability to raise my foot), making freemounting almost impossible.
    I did manage to Muni one time within the last 11 months, but my ankle
    felt so weak I thought I'd be better off riding my bicycles for a while
    to build up some strength in my right leg. I finally had gotten to the
    point where I felt I was back at 100% then this past Wednesday the
    attack occurred!! I'll spare all the details, but basically I now have
    two extremely deep punctures behind my left knee and a pretty bad dog
    bite wound on my right calf. Just thinking about putting on my 661's
    makes me cringe. I won't ride without protection, so I guess I'll just
    have to wait until these heal

  3. AAUWTCH, that gotta hurt.
    What did they do to the dog?
    I hope they killed it, because I think you didn't "challenged" him or
    something.
    Those kind off dogs are dangerous.

  4. This is how it all happened: I had noticed a sign in a junkyard where
    the owners were also selling cedar posts so I stopped and knocked on
    the door. After nobody answered, I walked towards the area where the
    posts were located and glanced into the yard to see if anyone might be
    out there. There was a "no trespassing" sign, so I did not leave the
    parking lot. As I turned away to return to my vehicle, I heard a dog
    barking and looked up to see a blond colored dog chained near the other
    end of the parking lot. At that time, I felt something hit me from
    behind. I quickly looked over my shoulder to see a black dog that had
    jumped out from under a structure and was attacking me. I rapidly took
    a few steps forward as he reached the end of his chain. It was then,
    after I was out of reach, that I realized I had been bitten on both
    legs. I had no idea that there were any dogs on the property before
    that point. I believe that when the blond colored dog began barking, he
    awoke the black dog resulting in the attack.
    The dog was on a very long chain that allowed it to enter the
    unfenced public area of the parking lot. Later that day, I returned to
    the location and told the owners about the attack and asked to see some
    proof of rabies vaccination and they could not produce it. I told them
    that I'd be back the next day and gave them a chance to find the
    missing documentation. After they failed to answer the door upon my
    arrival, I called the police and had them meet me there to make a
    report.
    When the first police officer arrived, I started to tell him my
    story about the dog attack and he said that he was familiar with the
    location and once had almost shot the black dog himself.
    Very quickly, the owners then came out of the building and produced
    a current green 2007 rabies tag. The officers then asked for the
    certificate and neither owner could find it. Animal Control was then
    contacted by the police officers to come and put the dog in quarintine.
    Later, before I left, I asked to see the tag and got the registration
    numbers from it and located the vet that had issussed it only to find
    out that the tag had been issused to the black dog 1-11-07. No wonder
    the owners "couldn't find the document" as it would have proven that
    the dog was not vaccinated until the day AFTER he bit me.

  8. Can you sue them? My parents (they're landlords) had a tenant that bit
    my dad once, he gave them a warning, and the second time he sued them
    $600 for it, and either they left with the dog, or they put it down.
    They left. Check into it, the least you could do is get the damn dog
    killed. It was probably abused and hungry: not the kind of life anybody
    would want to have.

  9. Kenny, I really hate to hear that. I was hoping to see you on the trail
    again soon. Hopefully the bite wounds won't take too long to heal, but
    I bet those really hurt. Pedal bites are bad enough, and those fang
    marks you got are a lot deeper.

    I predict this will be your last complication and you will be back on
    the muni before long. And from now on wear your leg armor when you
    visit a junk yard. I know I will.

    A tenant bit your dad? And they didn't evict him right there?

    The people that own the dogs are just trash, don't have anything to sue
    for but they are definately going to have to pay. The fine for having a
    dog that does not have a rabies vaccination (within the city limits) is
    $200. After they decided to start playing games with me, I had Animal
    Control check their other dog for proper rabies documentation also. If
    the owners come up empty-handed on that dog, they will be looking at
    $400 in fines plus at least $500 charge for the 10 day quarintine. If
    the dog does test positive for rabies (which I seriously and hopefully
    doubt) it will be put down.

    Scott, maybe I'll see ya out there on the trails eventually🙄

  16. Hi Krashin,
    Glad you have use of your foot back, sorry about the dog bites.

    Here is my dog attack story. I was walking my two dogs once, a shepherd
    mix (70lbs) and a beagle mix (20lbs) on their leashes... I was still on
    my property when I was attacked by a near-blind senile keeshond. It's
    teeth were so dull, it could only do crush damage to my arm. My dogs
    made the fur fly trying to get the dog off me while I lay there amidst
    the teeth, blood, and growls, kicking furiously trying to get my dogs
    off the keeshond while the keeshond hung on fearlessly to my arm. All
    the while, the man who owned the keeshond stood there idly with his
    hands in his pockets watching.

    Animal patrol came by my house the next day wanting me to produce
    rabies tags and city licences. I showed them the rabies certification
    for both dogs, but did not have city tags. I showed the officer my arm
    (which was deep purple from wrist to elbow) and asked if the other dog
    had his papers because I was the victim in the attack and my dogs were
    defending me. I explained where the attack happened in my yard and that
    my dogs were leashed and this other animal wasn't. He left looking
    confused.

    I could not believe the audacity of the man with the attacking dog. To
    call Animal patrol on me?! I suppose it was to cover his [censored] because
    he knew he was in the wrong.

    I still have deep tissue scars from the damage, but my arm works fine.

    I love dogs, I have 3, but they are taged, in control, and up to date.
    🙂

    Good healing. Lucky both dogs couldn't reach you at once!

    Thanks Podzol. I know where you're coming from. These dog owmers tried
    to convince the police that I was trespassing. Fortunately, the dog had
    a history and the police believed me, especially when they saw that the
    chain was long enough to allow the dog to reach the "public access" of
    the parking lot.

  20. I hope you get better soon mate.
    I have been attacked by a bull terrier type dog for no reason
    whatsoever and my best friend got his face mauled by a lassie dog.
    I hate dogs. I dont see why people would want to keep vicious killers!

    Rock on!
