It probably wasn't even the first bite. Most victims of dog bites are friends of a biting dog's owner, with implicit (and sometimes explicit) pressure not to report. I've met people whose dogs have bit as many as seven people without having a formal bite record.

I was mauled by a rabbit, not a dog (I love dogs!!!).

But in theory it is impossible to report rabbit attack. Police will refuse to write a protocol, and give you an report! If you insist, they insert weasel words like "non aggressive rabbit was provoked", making any further claims hard to prove.

I would recommend anyone whose neighbors have aggressive rabbits, to install cameras, keep all records several years back.

And report every incident! And also check your report was actually kept, and put on record a few weeks later!

Makes everything much easier in a longer-term, if your family members ends in hospital!!

you lost your leg to a rabbit?

They said "almost". But it seems to me that a rabbit could definitely take a finger or sever an Achilles tendon, maybe badly fuck up a wrist.

Plus amputation could be due to an out of control infection or something like that. Wounds are complicated.

I can only understand this if they were incapcitated, unconscious... I mean just kick it off, it weighs a few ounces. How does a rabbit do enough damage to require amputation of the effing leg!?! Think how small a rabbits mouth is, they dont each meat so it would take them a long time to chow down on your leg. Theyre weaker than a cat, unless its one of those massive hares, and have you ever heard a cat mauling someones leg off? I need to see either the size of this rabbit, or the size of this person.

I assume they put the dog down though? My understanding is that's what happens in these cases.
