i am with leadfingers on this, it is the same with children i think.
there are some parents that let their kids get away with anything, don't care where they are or who they are with.
it can be the same with dog owners, was the owner with the dog when it bit you g-force?

i would hate the owner if i were you.
i feel sorry for you,i know from experiance how hard it is to have to wipe your' arse with the wrong hand!!

our dogs are under very strict control while we are with them, but have been a couple of times aggressive when we have left them, which we have taken total responsabality(?) for.
the fault has been entirely ours at festivals when we have forgotten to shorten the chains they are on, which normally isn't a problem, we have now sorted that out now, since we do not want it to happen again.

now we have a caravan, they no longer escape from the car, ..who knew that a dog could squeeze his head through a gap that is smaller than his head???(2-3 inches).

the dog owner should have been brought in front of a court at least for loss of earnings and truama from the attack.

i hope your' arm gets better soon, please don't write off all dogs and owners,most of us as with parents try to do a good job.

take care
