At least it'll make a good story...

I was innocently walking to my house from the bus stop, returning from an inspirational FHE. I was almost to my house and I saw a dog sitting in the road in front of me. (I was walking in the road because the sidewalks are horribly uneven and in the dark that is a little tricky.) All of sudden for NO reason, the dog got up, ran towards me, jumped on me and bit my thigh. He bit me once and I must not have tasted real good because then he just laid off and went away. WHAT THE HECK!

I limped home, went up to my room to look up the verb "to bite", and then went downstairs to tell my host mom what had happened. She took me to urgent care. The hospital was very nice (I felt like I was in the States!!). We literally only had to wait 10 minutes and then I was in a room. I only freaked out a little when I walked into a white-washed walled room with a creepy looking surgery bed-thing.

The nurse cleaned my wound with alcohol-ish stuff (I'm guessing). Then they gave me a shot in my arm. I have a phobia of needles for sure, so I was quite proud of my courage when it came to the vaccination.

Oh, and another detail to the story: the dog had a collar on. So it belongs to some one in the neighborhood. That's one thing I hate about Chile. Not only are there billions of stray dogs, but everyone let's their house dogs run wild. And EVERYONE has dogs. Sooooo, needless to say there are dogs everywhere.

Moral of the story: Some one needs to invent some sort of unfragant chemical to spray in the air that will wipe out the dog population but is harmless to everything/everyone else.
