This is not a spectacular shot
In fact it's downright boring - two kids walking away from the beach with two dogs
And you can't even SEE the dogs for the tall grasses
This was an over-the-shoulder shot for me . . . .
Because I felt I needed the time documentation
One of their dogs bit me as we all walked the beach
Me, walking in one direction taking pictures of crab baskets and people
Them, rough-housing & playing with one dog (both on leashes) and walking in the opposite direction
I am not afraid of dogs . . . I don't believe I was showing fear . . . I wasn't even interacting with them
As we passed, the larger of the two dogs jumped up & bit me in the upper right thigh
I was sooooo stunned I didn't realize what was happening til I hit the ground
The kids were astonished as well & it took them a few seconds to reel the dog in
They were apologetic, and, long story short, I met with their parents and the incident has been addressed
The dog has to be quarantined for ten days, even tho its shots are up to date
(rabies is a virus and there is ALWAYS a chance a virus will survive a vaccination) so the dog must be isolated
I don't think anything will come of this
but THAT was my day . . . how was YOURS?
=P
