...I told the some woman her dog had just bit me, to which the belligerent heifer responded with an indignant "oh, he did NOT!"
It amazes me how many people love their dog more than other humans. I love dogs and will go out of my way to befriend them if they are amenable to it. But if my dog had bitten someone, I would be totally apologetic, help wash out the bite and offer to pay for medical care. To do otherwise is completely unacceptable.
