Bloody hell Greeny, just as well you had your willy tied around the other leg that day.
Get well soon, report the f'ken dog, give your medical bills to the owner
Just as I Pulled my board out of the back of the wagon last weekend our f&*&%g cat decided it wanted to use my legs as slalom markers. I tried not to tread on it (dont know why) and of course I tripped and tore a small hole in board bag and a 5 cent hole in the rail of my board. My wife and daughter rushed out of the house to see what all the bad language was about. Couldnt find the cat, it knows I wouldve kicked the crap out of it.
Greenroom, hope the leg heals fine.
Pets and windsurfing dont mix.
Hehehe
Man!! imagine if your 5yo son had been standing next to you!! If that were my dog I'd put it down before a tragedy occurs.
Buy your mate a muzzle for the dog.
I cant say im fond of dogs like that, we own a bluey but she's a sook, her mother though was a psycho at my sisters racehorse estate, I recall jumping the fence one day after having a go at me, I didn't know she was on the loose - managed a few cuts and grazes not from the dog but from my reflex to get over the other side of the fence super pronto! Ironically the dog had a muzzle on but I didn't register that at the time.
Personally I think there's a difference between family pet and an outdoor guard dog - once the two is combined that's generally when accidents happen.
Pardon the preaching! I just like dogs.
Alternatively convince him to buy one of these
Hehehe
I agree with all of you in regards to putting it down.
This wasnt the first time it has happened.
But I feel that its not my decision to make. Im just glad it was me and not a 5 year old kid.
Hopefully this is a wake up call for them.
Because my mum was a whitey. I got her legs but I ended up with my dads nose
I guess you have to weigh up how you'd feel forcing them to have it put down, which i believe is your right now it has mauled you, compared to how you'd feel if or when you hear it has mauled or killed a child. Your decision!
Bear in mind this is coming from someone who has owned Bull Terriers for over 25 years without the slightest hint of aggression towards anyone in any of them.
Stricknien on a nice t-bone over the fence in a cupla months after the incident is a distant memory.It's rough i know but sheeeeze think of the children...the CHIEELLLDREN.....
Seriously there's no room for vicious dogs in the burbs.The owners of this mutt must take responsibility and do the right thing.
RSPCA have a test for dogs to be re-homed.This particular dog would fail and be put down.
haha Greenie... I have done the same thing, but it took me a good while to figure out who or what did it. It was about 4am after a huge night on the town.... Hence why I didn't know when or why it happened, or who did it 
lol
I admit I came home to a friends place and left my bag in her house, so walked back into get it, and the owner had let the dog off, and it attached itself to my leg....
Needless to say I didn't realize how bad it was at the time... I was stumbling a little more than I was walking...
Pic was taken about 1 week after it happened =
MMM it's a toughie alright.
I had a mad-as-a-cut-snake dog for 8 years. I got her as a puppy from the pound - she was going to be popped in the melon the next morning if I didn't take her (yes i am a sucker). she seemed ok, until i realised she was slowed down by an infected paw - 3 days later Fk-a-duck!! Hyper-doggy!!
Anyway I put up with the dog's antics until my 1st kiddy came along. Kept them seperate and never, ever turned my back on the dog. The real trouble started when the youngster started to walk. A number of times the dog (through a security screen door) went ballistic at the nipper thinking no-one was about. Not actually an aggressive dog - just a simple pack creature. Still cuccooning the kiddy indoors was not going to last.
Sigh... it was hard to do but after 6 months of trying constantly to find a home for the dog, including advertising in the Quoaka - only to have low-life losers spin me lies to get the dog (wanting a dog for illegal dog fights I think - Staffy/Rhodesian cross that looked like a Pitbull) I finally gave in and took her for the big sleep.
It was bloody hard to do, but she would have caused damage/harm in another environ for sure. I am positive the dog would have had a go at my kiddy eventually too.
Word ya mate up - the dog will eventually have a go at someone else and probably cause more harm than it did to ya lilly white stumps (probably earn him a lawsuit too). Time for the big sleep. 
yep, you were spot on about that bit (well, apart from the hunting & killing rats part), mine hasn't got an aggressive bone in her body. She's a 35kg lap dog. You're right this is a moot point, I totally agree with the gist of your posts.
I'd love to see her try and catch a rat though
