If I didn't have Bad Luck....

[Cinder & Smoke]

Karen was driving and a dog ran out in front of her car and she hit it.
Of course, she jumped out to try and help the dog and it proceeded to bite her.

I am going through a series of rabies shots for a month.
Once again, my "bad" hand is pretty severely injured.

I don't quite understand ...

Did the Injured Dog do a Byte and Run?
If it Bit and then ran off - did no one know its owner?

If it survived and got treated; quaranteening it for 10 days is usually
allowed before the bite victim needs to begin anti-Rabies shots.

If the dog died , then it can be tested for Rabies.

Sure hope the question is resolved before the anti-Rabies shots are needed.

How awful. I am so sorry you had to endure this again, karen. (((hugs)))

I hope you're feeling better soon! You certainly don't deserve any of this.

The dog was injured, but ran away. She has no idea where it is, which was also upsetting for her.

Here is how she explained it in an email at 2:30 this morning:

... 1 blk from my house, i couldn't stop in time to avoid hitting a
small dog..maybe cockapoo. i pulled right over..the scream was deafening. i
grabbed my purse and ran over to look at the damage. i dropped my 2 ton purse by my leg..the dog crawled over to the curb. i went to grab my purse
strap..forgot i left my cell at home and the dog reached back and bit me on
the left pointer finger. i flagged a car. the guy lent me his cell and gave
me a towel. blood all over. a lady from a house came out of nowhere-did not
recognize the dog description..another lady pulled over and went to look for
the dog as it disappeared. i called 911....

When Karen and I spoke on the phone, earlier today, she said they gave her four injections last night that had to do with preventing Rabies. I'm sure she will give us a better explanation when she settles down a bit. She is exhausted and upset. I hope her evening was relaxing and that she will get good sleep tonight. She needs it.
