My dog bite story:

About 5 years ago I was playing golf on my club course and someone hit a ball just off the left side of the cart path. I was helping to look for it and I could hear a dog yapping in the house. Then I hear the sliding door and a guy shouting “this is private property!” I think, ok that’s weird and start to walk away but as I’m walking, out of the corner of my eye I see the little black yapper (not a pit bull) running up behind me. He jumped up and bit me on the back of my hand. I’m thinking “what the…” turn around and the guy is standing on his deck in an undershirt with the dog in his arms. I said, “hey, that dog bit me” to which he replies, “he doesn’t bite”. I said he bit me, I’m bleeding. He says “ I apologize, I didn’t mean for him to get out”, as he is turning to go back inside. At a loss for words, I said “does he have all his shots, the guy said yes and went inside. After golf I’m thinking the guy is a weirdo and not sure I believe him about the shots so I called neighborhood security (who have all the power of the sheriff) and told them I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it but could somebody go check to see if the dog actually has its shots? A while later the security guy is coming up my driveway (my dog was barking at him!) and reports that the dog has all his shots. Again, I said I don’t want to make a big deal out of it and the guy says oh it’s a big deal, “I have to report it to the South Carolina department of something something” and took a picture of the bite. An hour later the SC dept of something calls to say they will go to the guy’s house to quarantine the dog for 2 weeks and call me back in 2 weeks. So it turned into a bigger deal than need be. If the owner had said, “oh, I’m sorry let me get you a band aid” and showed me his shot tag, I would have gone on my way without a problem. As someone stated earlier, maybe the human owner should have been quarantined for two weeks.
