I did say "another LIVING thing" if you noticed.
Oh, but aren't they all [dogs] friendly and people loving? Pff. At least that's what the owners always claim the countless times dogs off-leash have made b-lines for me when I am running in the park or on the trail. They get defensive when I tell them it's a $240 fine for the offense of having their dogs not on leash.
I just lift my shirt and show them this:
Then I point to the scar I still have and tell them "This is a new Camry with leather interior. If this was a child's face, it would be a new house with a two-car garage and a couple of Maseratis in there." No one has argued the point.
Unfortunately, the scar is beginning to fade away. I really got my money's worth out of it for the better part of a year. A border collie pulled me down while skating on an MUP. Bruised my bum, hurt my back a bit. A lot more to the story but not relevant here. I call it my "Blessed Scar". I am gonna miss it when it's gone.
