On my way to pick my wife up from work yesterday, when she phoned me and she was in a terrible state. Her employers dog had bitten her and she was in a terrible state. There was nobody else in the house as her employer had taken the children away for a few days so my wife had locked herself in another room as the dog was still barking and she was scared. By the time I arrived the husband had returned home from work and he was visibly upset and was apologising. I was more interested in getting my wife to hospital as her hand looked quite nasty and was badly swollen. You could see from the wound that it wasn't just a nip but the dog had really sunk it's teeth in.
Anyway we got to the hospital where they were very nice and dressed the wound and sent her for an Xray which fortunately only revealed bad bruising and no damage to the bone. She had the Jab and was released with a course of Antibiotics and pain killers.
She received a text from the husband last night after we updated him, wishing her well and telling her that she would not have to deal with the dog going forward (part of her job is dog walking).
My concern is now that Mary Grace is adamant that she cannot work there if the dog is still in the house and I fully understand why. I really feel that they should get rid of the dog as that could have been one of their children.
However I have told her to just wait to hear from the employer when she gets back this weekend and if they are keeping the dog then obviously she will have to leave the job.
