...There are of course circumstances out of one's control, where one has shown due diligence in securing the dog, but clearly, there are circumstances where the dog owner could have and should have taken more steps to avoid the harm. In my case, the dog owner watched from a distance with a sadistic grin on her face while I was in a helpless state...
Are you a lawyer, by any chance?

If the dog didn't bite you then the dog didn't want to bite you. If the owner stood by with a sadistic grin on her face then you were either A) doing something you shouldn't have to warrant the dog scaring you or B) should have called the police ASAP to report a vicious dog and an owner who had no control over him.
I personally wouldn't bother spending any money on a book with graphic pictures of dog bite wounds. I know what they look and feel like. I don't need to be reminded.

Hi Betty,
I am completely open to elaborate on the facts of what I experienced and this is why I am writing the book. It will be a challenge to summarize all that transpired without it becoming too lenghty, but in a nutshell, a dog without a leash chased after me as I was walking. The owner (or in any event the person who was responsible for the dog)was washing her car and saw me trying to avoid being bitten by the dog and didn't once call for the dog, other than grin when our eyes met. I'm not sure how helpful this summary is for you because there was also a conversation that ensued.

Samantha, sadly, you have drawn a conclusion without even knowing the facts... sadly. I respect your personal opinion and I don't expect my book to appeal to everyone, as with anything else. I do feel there are those who can relate to my position. Only yesterday on the local news, a poor woman was attacked and bitten by three dogs that had a reputation for chasing neighbors. The woman shielded her daughter from the dogs so she would be the one to endure the bites. It took this woman being bitten and the news media getting involved before the owner acknowledged there was a problem and agreed to have the dogs put to sleep. Do I have to be bitten before I can be deserving of wanting to create more of an awareness about the responsibility of dog owners from my experience and perspective?

The reason why you don't want to tell us what really happened is because you came on a forum that centers around BITE SPORTS so that you can dredge up information on how 'dangerous' our dogs might be. You could have EASILY found information about dog bite wounds from google, you could have EASILY called the CDC to find out how to get your hands on information. Instead you came to Leerburg.
You were not bitten. If the dog wanted to bite you it would have. You cannot dispute fact. If you'd like to tell us what really happened (as in details, instead of 'she had a sadistic grin) then feel free. I'm skeptical, and if that's 'sad' then oh well. I've got reason to think you're fishing for something that would negatively impact us here at Leerburg.

Who is the audience for this book? What do they currently believe? what do you want them to believe after reading? and what is the obstacle that has prevented that understanding that your book will solve? Without this kind of basic understanding, this project is doomed before you begin.
My questions have nothing to do with your argument, experience, or point of view. I'd be asking this if you wanted to write a pancake recipe book.
I'm simply trying to understand some fundamentals of objective and strategy.
You've settled on the tactic of a book, and further refined it by saying its a book of graphic dog bite pictures. I'm curious how this is going to work to meet your objectives.

"You could have EASILY found information about dog bite wounds from google, you could have EASILY called the CDC to find out how to get your hands on information. Instead you came to Leerburg."
To address the uninformed reader who may have the misconception that dogs trained in Schutzhund and other sports are somehow "more dangerous" ....... this is, IMO, wildly erroneous.
Uncontrolled dogs running in packs chasing people are the opposite of dogs who are trained and trialed in sports.
But this baffles me completely. I'd really like to understand the answers to what Tracy asks.
