Rectum?
Darn near killed 'em!
Sorry, couldn't resist. I hope you end up owning the house that dog ran under. And if you get the dog in the settlement, you'll probably keep him leashed. The owner deserves to be dogless and homeless. Might sound harsh, but you could have ended up in a wheelchair or worse. No excuse.
I've run into a few
Deliverance dogs; best approach is to remove eye protection, regulate speed based upon position of the dog, and say the word NO in your most authoritative, Drill Sergeant Hartman voice. I've saved my own skin a few times, and at least two dogs' lives.
