I've only been bitten one time. It was my boyfriend's 120 lb Akita (not Grizz). His name was Ito and Ito had Addison's disease. His disease was getting out of control despite medication and I sat next to him to console him one day. Ito was normally gentle, but he lunged at me. He put his paws on my shoulders and pushed me flat on the ground. As an instinct I turned my head and he bit the side of my face. I had teeth punctures all up and down the side of my face. My boyfriend came running and pulled him off of me. Ito's bite was only a warning bite despite all the blood and drama. If he would have bit down harder he would have taken of the entire side of my face. I knew he could have done a lot worse and I never got mad at Ito. I got a tetnis shot and the punctures healed. After the bite my boyfriend's family decided that Ito must be in a lot of pain to do that to me and they had to put him down. He was a good dog, he was just sick.
