Wow, thank God it wasn't worse. That is great he still likes dogs. I was attacked by a dog as a child and never got over the fear of them. Now 31 years later...I still don't like them and big dogs I am terrified of...so it is great that this didn't stop love for dogs.
Oh WOW! Thank God he's okay, and that he still loves animals! We've had some similar experiences here, but not documented. *Hugs* to you = You're a terrific mom! ~Sharnie
Your poor little guy! I'm so glad that he is OK, that he is still an animal lover, and that you got to express yourself so eloquently! And mom - you need to stop beating your self up! Your son is still an animal lover after this - you've done right by him!
I think that it is wondeful that you were able to express your thoughts in this way. He is a cutie and I am glad that this has not changed how he feels about animals.
Oh, poor baby! Nice layout, but sad situation.
I was bit several times as a kid and still never quit liking dogs. I never could understand if *I* was nice to the dog, why it would bite me!? ;)
Aww, poor honey! It sounds like he's doing much better so now it's time for mom to stop beating herself up. I do hope the dog's owners have gotten some training for the dog so it doesn't do this again.
God, how scary! I'm glad it didn't bite his face. My son was bit by a neighbors dog years ago and they had it put to sleep. My son still loves dogs so it is definitely something they can overcome if they stay around dogs right away. It's not your fault!
ohhhh my. I'm so sorry he was bite. Wonderful of you to remember the good with the bad. I was bit as a child too, but still LOVE dogs. Good job helping him to understand it.
This one was a difficult one for me. A Mom's job is to protect her child. I know that in this case, I did not do my job. I pray that one day, I'll stop beating myself up about it. Journaling: On New Year’s Eve, 2007, Donovan was bitten by a “wild dog”. The wild dog was an acquaintance’s 18-month old pit bull that had not spent any time with children. The dog saw Donovan and immediately assumed he was a threat. Donovan was an animal lover and didn’t understand why the dog attacked him. We explained that the dog was young and just hadn’t learned his manners. Even though the dog caused him great pain and fear, Donovan is still an animal lover and has little fear of dogs, as long as they’re not “wild”.
