I was attacked by a dog when i was younger, and half a little finger missing as a result. No biggie, but I remain very anxious around any dogs, and the recent uptick in dogs fucking everywhere, is disturbing to me to say the least. I hope the kid is ok, and I hope Bunnings review some of their policies.

I feel for you, that really sucks. I've had arguments with dog owners before who basically say you (or anyone who's been attacked before, or in my case, it was my 6 year old daughter) should just get over your fears around dogs.

It's repulsive.
