I'm curious,
How many of you that are chastising beetree on this thread
do bitework with your dogs?

Of those that do, how many have had an 'oh shit' moment
at club where you either f*cked up as a handler, the helper
f*cked up, or someone else at training did, and as a result,
someone got bit-did you report THAT bite? 
And don't say it's different, in the eyes of the law,
a bite is a bite is a bite.

While I do think the kiddo should have went to see a doc, I
can also understand beetree wanting to work with her friend.

If the owner had not expressed remorse and such, then I would
say yes, beat a path to AC. But since the owner seems to want 
address the issue with a trainer etc immediately, is beetree so
wrong?

How many times have you either been bit, or witnessed
someone at training get nailed and everyone makes light of it? 
Of course the issue is addressed and better handling and/or
communication between helper/handler etc.  And don't deny
the fact that people 'patch up' other people at dog club, that 
shit happens ALL the time. 

Geez, even the other half commented about the 'beer tax' people
have paid at dog club after a handler f*cked up and someone got bit.

I'm really sorry you took my faux medical advice to beetree so very
seriously Thomas, perhaps you should try some yoga or something
to loosen up a little. Or get glasses? Evidently you missed all the 
emoticons that were included in my post. 
If someone else were to read that and run with it?
Well, that's what the Darwin Awards are all about..

Betta Wolf, 
Don't bother PM'ing me just to sllng insults at me. (She feels I have no right to post on this site.) I have blocked you.


Workingdogz,
I'm still waiting for Slamdunc to show up with handcuffs. I can't take it any more. I need to pay for my crime. I do miss him so. 

I actually think some people are disappointed the bite didn't get infected, because let's face it, that would REALLY teach me a lesson, wouldn't it? No surprise to me. Love me or hate me. Call me stupid, or smart. I have that affect on people, I know it; it's always one or the other, nothing in between. 

If anyone even cares to reread the whole thread, my admittances to imperfection are included. They would have understood my self-admitted moral dilemma. Now, I even thoughtfully responded to Betta's original inquiry. Too bad she went rabid, I guess ...because I didn't lie and sugar coat the "why" of my "bad" choices. I abhor the pedestal when someone puts me on one, it is a burden I can't live up to, I learned that a long time ago.

So who among you think I should call A/C today? I looked up the laws... something I didn't do before, seems it is the bitten party that is responsible for reporting to A/C. Here, is a link to the CT law, as far as I can tell, I'm in violation of an infraction. How about my friend and her dog? Am I the only law breaker here?

Reporting and Killing

The victim of a dog bite must report the attack to a state, town, or regional ACO responsible for the town where the attack occurred. The ACO must immediately investigate the attack. Anyone who is bitten by a dog or who shows visible evidence of having been attacked may kill the dog during the attack if it happens off the animal owner's or keeper's premises. The law exempts anyone killing a biting dog in accordance with this law from criminal or civil liability (CGS § 22-358).

Public health regulations require health care providers to report to the local health director or authority anyone they treat or examine who has or is suspected of having a “reportable disease,” which includes rabies. (Conn. Regulations §19a-36-A3)

Another law prohibits anyone from owning or harboring a dog which is a nuisance because of a vicious disposition, excessive barking, or other disturbance. The courts may make any order necessary to restrain or dispose of the dog (CGS § 22-363). The penalty for violating the law is an infraction for the first offense and for subsequent offenses the violator may be fined up to $100, imprisoned for up to 30 days, or both. Section 22-362 of the Connecticut Genreal Statutes makes it a crime to own or keep a dog which habitually goes out on a highway and growls, bites, snaps at, or otherwise annoys any person or domestic animal using the highway or chases or interferes with any motor vehicle on the highway. Violators may be fined between $25 and $50, imprisoned for up to 30 days, or both for the first offense and for subsequent offenses they may be fined between $50 and $100, imprisoned for up to 60 days, or both.

There is a BIG difference between a  training accident and an unprovoked bite from a "rescue" with an unknown history. I'm not going to continue arguing that what you wrote was somehow negated
by the addition of emoticons. I'm also not going to let any of you misquote and/or twist what I actually wrote and then try to argue your version of what you think I meant. Jeez go train your dog people.

 Thomas Barriano

Years ago, my Doberman bit my sister in law, in the face, she required NUMEROUS stitches, and still has the scars. The circumstance behind the bite DID NOT warrant my dog being put to sleep. While my sister in law did not report the dog bite, the hospitol did. Well, while my brother and sister in law headed to the hospitol, me and my dog headed out of town so I could find a boarding kennel, and that is where my poor dog remained for two months. My brother, who was half the cause of the bite in the first place was insistent he was going to kill my dog .My sister in law, DID NOT want Bandit in trouble, and the police wanted rabies info. I waited until my brother went back down south to bring my dog home. He never bit anyone after that, or before that.

beetree, 
Most hospitals/er etc will report the dog bite to AC.
At least that's how it happens in most States. It's kind
of an automatic thing. AC will follow up wanting proof
of current rabies vaccine, current dog license etc. Then,
they will determine whether or not the dog should be 
held at their facility for quarantine or if you can do so at
home. That can of course vary depending on State, County,
City, Village, Township etc laws.  Some places have 'first bite
free' rules, others act on the first incident. 

As for Thomas, no, there is NO difference in the eyes of
the law and/or AC when it comes to a bite.
A bite is a bite is a BITE to AC.  The medical facility will
treat a bite the same whether it happened during training
or a random incident like this. The medical professionals 
don't care how it happened, it's still a dog bite at the end
of the day. If you, your helper etc goes to any ER and seeks
treatment for a dog bite, they will forward your info to the
AC/Police and follow up will be done.

And thanks for the advice, but we already trained our dogs
this AM. 

beetree, you seem to be a little too excited about slam coming
to handcuff you. 

I had a dog bite and managed to tell a story at the ER that the Doctor pretended to believe.

I felt then and still feel now that in those circumstances it was the best thing to do. 

Different circumstances and I would of made a different choice.

he he he@workingdogz!

  

Only time my dog bites is when I tell her too = but it's called Packen; look it up in the dictionary bee balm

but she has never biten a child, but then again I would take a child to the dr; report the dog as a given; & not post about on a pet website

OK, then, I think we've all been schooled that Betta Wolf and Dobermannman are the smartest, most concerned, wisest and most wonderfulest people on the face of the Earth, and there's no need for further demonstrations of that fact.
