Hey all,

I think HG Wells said, " Never work with animals or kids."

For 17 years I have been in a job that involves me checking peoples’ roofs for possums or other animals.
I have a way with dogs. If a dog is in the yard I can bluff the dog into submission if it were threatening me.

Today I made a mistake. The customer ( Nev ) was out the front on his mobile. Oscar the Bull Mastiff Ridgeback cross was secured on the front landing. I had met, patted and played with Oscar two days ago. I entered the back yard.

Nev’s wife went to investigate the barking. As she opened the front door, Oscar, 40Kgs of Schizophrenia charged through the house out the back door and sank those pearly whites into my wrist.
I did not see it coming.
A doctor visit, antibiotics and a tetanus shot followed. I decided to call it a day.
Four hours after the event and the bruised tendons are not as painful and I think I stand a good chance to survive.

Cheers Marty
