Granny's gone and done it again

I remember getting attacked by one when I was little.
I'm behind, but caught this post. When I was 10 years old, there was a dog that followed me everywhere I went. Wasn't my dog. Loved him..a boxer. Very sweet. He was more mine than the neighbors. Long story short. As usual, he followed me to the bus stop. I had gone up to the "candy" store. On my way back to the bus stop, a dump truck passed by. He ended up hitting that dog, front wheels and back! Duke was writhing and screaming. :(. I ran to his side, of course! I put my hand on the back of his neck talking to him. He grabbed my leg. Just my touching him made his pain worse. My face was right there, I'm lucky he didn't grab that because he wasn't letting go. A city truck stopped, the guy ran over and had to pry the dog's mouth off of my leg. I had been pulling and shaking trying to get him off. Guy takes me to the hospital. Somehow they got hold of my mother who is very very pregnant. She says, should have seen the poor guys face when he looked at me and had to tell her I was in the hospital. Had to get many stitches. Back in the day, not great at stitching, I have a couple of pretty ugly scars, front and back of my right leg. The Dr had said just a fraction of an inch lower the dog would have bitten into an artery that runs down that way. Says it was a good thing I was pulling and jerking, kept the dog from biting deeper. Yes, dog was put down, kids at the bus stop told me that the dog catcher came, had to shoot multiple times because all ge had was a bb gun. Now I am thinking today was probably a pellet gun. Not much better. 🙄 Neighbor..came by with a bag of candy to apologize. Pretty worried soom says. That they may be sued. Nah, mom wasn't like that. Yeah, those scars, pretty bad.
