A neighbour of mine got bitten by her own dog 4 days ago.
She was an old lady, around 60+ and still living strong.
It was one of those causal nights where she had taken her dinner and later laid on the sofa while watching tv.
Then her dog came into the house,and jumped unto her with joy,
but all of a sudden, the dog took a huge bite on her palm, and wouldn't let go
She screamed and her husband saved her by hitting the dog away,
Later,she was immediately admitted to the hospital for treatment and the veterinarian was called in to give the dog a shot for a peaceful death.

I visited my neighbour at the women's ward yesterday afternoon,
and it has already been a week since she's there, her wounds has not fully recovered yet,
Therefore, she was required to have a longer stay.

This incident reminds me of two precautions:
1) A dog that bites their master or mistress out of anonymity more than twice should be put to sleep.
2) However, do not immediately put the dog to sleep once it has bitten you, keep it under observation for 10 days, and observe any excessive salivation that the dog is suffering, it might be infected with rabies ( it could have been bitten by nomadic bats). If it does, inform these details to the health administrator at the hospital, any further delays are fatal.
