I am a dog lover, but this really happened at the home of a friend who was dog-sitting.
It was so ludicrous, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry:
Dog Bite
I didn’t know the
tottering dachshund,
old and blind as he was,
would bite me. And not on my heel, but
on top!
He gnawed with his sharp canines
on that thin skin barely
covering the veins and tendons.
So few nerves there
that at first I thought
he was just sniffing me
in a calm speculative way.
Then the shock of pain and blood!
So sorry I wore loafers,
not walkers!
And right at April’s end,
when I yearned to crunch along
in the woods.
Now it commands my attention
with reproachful throbbing.

Ouch. Little dogs can’t be trusted.
