On my third pass in the street while doing my regular walk, 2 dogs came out of the gate as I was passing through the front of their house. I stopped walking when I saw them both charging towards me, one of the dogs (boxer) took a bite at me and then both dogs ran away back towards their place. The neighbor who was at that time mowing the front lawn helped me by shooing the dogs back inside their backyard. My friends took me to emergency to get treated as the dog owners were not home that time and at the emergency we filed a dog bite report to Animal Control. Afterwards, I got to talk and got info from dog owner about the dog and came out that the dog was behind with rabies shot by 3 months at that time. But after quarantine, dog came out normal as per Animal Control.
My medical expenses are now being investigated by the dog owner’s insurance company as I am asking them to reimburse me for the emergency treatment. I was able to go to work after the incident even if I had bruises/swelling
