Last Sunday, during my long run, I was bitten by a dog, the first time that's ever happened to me in my life.
I think this must be a summer home. I ran by the property all winter and never saw a soul. Today, there was a man on a riding lawn mower and a full grown Weimaraner leased to the side deck. The house sits very close to the road and the dog went nuts as I ran by. I don't think the man on the mower noticed.
My run was a long out and back, so about an hour later, I approached the house from the other direction. The man was working near his front steps. I said hello, he said hi. I took about 3 more steps and the Weimaraner came flying off the deck and bit me on the left thigh. I threw my hands over my head, making myself big as possible and screamed, "NO! NO! NO!". The dog backed off long enough for the owner to run over and grab it.
The owner took me in his home, apologized profusely, gave me Hydrogen Peroxide to soak the scrape, and gave me $20 for my torn shorts. Spoiled what had been a good day.
