The other day my dog bit someone's finger. Badly.
She's a cockapoo and five years old very much a beloved dog.
Like many dogs she doesn't like the post or the letterbox. A man who'd cleaned the bins pushed a miniscule piece of paper through the door and she ran at at barking. His finger was right through and holding the paper she jumped up and bit him.
She's normally nowhere near the porch. I moved to my
Mums as I've fled an abusive relationship. I've just had a baby and it's chaos. The only reason the porch door was open is that
My ex refused to let womens aid take the cats and dumped them here. Their litter tray is in the porch so we need to leave the door open. So a perfect storm of factors.
Anyway he came back two days after the bite to tell me that his finger might be infected he could lose it and his business. That he was being pushed by the hospital to report it.
I cleaned his hand throughly, washed it through with tcp and applied Avalon plus a gauze. Told him to go straight to a & e as it was bleeding heavily.
This has been an awful few
Months for me and i can't believe this has happened.
She's a beautiful dog and spends all day with us as a family. She is insured her hand are
Up to date her teeth are teguglarly checked and she's walked every day.
Has anyone been in this hellish situation?
I'm resigned to the fact she'll be destroyed which is breaking my heart as she's got me through some awful days the last few months.
How will this be resolved?
Will I get a criminal record?
I've no money to pay a fine. I dont have any savings or a job and just had a tiny baby.
Going out of my mind with worry and any advice would be most welcomed
