I have been bitten by three dogs. The first was a rottweiller that was owned by my aunt and uncle. I had gone over to their house when i was about 9 or 10, and i followed my cousin inside the door, they had dark brown carpeting, and she walked past the stairs landing that went upstairs, then as i walked past Zeus (the dog, whose name fit him perfectly) lunged from the landing and jumped straight on me, it bit my arms mostly, the problem with that dog, was it would listen to no one in the house except my uncle (because he was taking him to training classes) and he had to be called in from the garage to call the dog off me.
I was bitten by my lab/sheperd/collie dog when i was little, it was my fault 100% though, the dog retreated under the bed, and i decided i was going to crawl under the bed with him...he didn't appreciate that lol. Not only did I get bit in the forehead, but I also got yelled at by my mother. I think I was about 6 or 7?
And I got bit by a bassett hound we got from the shelter, I was about 8 years old and she was upstairs and down the hallway which was a straight shot down the stairs, through the dining room then living room. I was in the living room, and she ran all the way down the hall and straight for me and attacked me. Wouldn't get off me, my mother hit her with a broom until she finally let go. We had to give her away after that.
After being bitten by those dogs, I would have to say I am hesitant around rottweillers only.
