Got bit by my neighbors dog today.

[limitles]

You “had” to report it to city animal control? No you didn’t. You initiated this contact. (nosy neighbour syndrome)

Your busyness has cost your neighbour money at best (dog may be put down) and you a lesson to be learned.

Don't care about your hand because it's part of you.

Private health care vs socialized medicine. I get a little bite from a neighbours dog. It's taken care of. You get al little bite and despite the minimal cost the question is who do we bill? You made the mistake, you pay for it. That dog did not come at you, just the opposite. Man up.
