What do I do after a dog attack?
I was walking my little 10lb dog down the sidewalk the other day. The owner of the house directly in front of the sidewalk has 2 pit-bulls that charged out of the door and ran up to me and my dog growling with teeth bared (I would say these dogs were 80lbs each). I lifted up my dog in an attempt to save him and the pit-bulls jumped on me trying to get at him and nipping at his hind quarters, they scratched me and left large bruises on me in the process. My sweater I was wearing was also ripped in the back where one of the dogs jumped on me. My dog seemed to be ok, although he was screaming in fear/pain as the pit-bulls tried to rip at him... making me nervous that they did do damage. The owner eventually wrestled them to the ground (he was bloody/bitten from trying to get them back). The police were called and a report was filed. Is there anything else I can do in this case? These dogs are dog-aggressive and a potential dancer to others.
